[TYPO3-mvc] Kicking off Hype Store on the Forge

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

Good evening folks!

For several weeks (at least that's what it feels like) I worked
and played on an extbase and fluid powered extension, building up
a basic web shop called Hype Store (hype_store).

We use some parts of the extension already on a real website for
one of our customers.

It uses some custom global viewhelpers, which are stored in an own
dependent extension called Hype (hype), which has to be installed,
before the Hype Store can be used.

(In future Hype will feature more basic stuff for extension development,
especially for Hype Extension, which hopefully become more and more.)

For now you need to include the static templates for the extension and
define the correct StoragePids, and you're off to go and see the result,
as long as you have defined some category and product records.

Status is basic, so expect it to be error prone, especially if not
everything is configured correctly - but the static template and the
correct StoragePids should do the job.

I'd appreciate it a lot, if some of you may show iterest and
have a look on it, trying it out and giving feedback here.

You should expect the following frontend plugins to work:
  * Category
  * Product
  * Cart
  * Watchlist
  * Address (Management)

(For most of them you need to be logged in on the frontend.)

The checkout is not yet finished and is imho the biggest part on this,
currently lacking the feature of beeing able to call seperate steps,
with validation etc.

Please forgive me, if I forgot to add licence information somewhere, or
anything else, I missed to add; I'm new to public extension development.

Another hint, which may save your life when testing and errors come up.
You need to also checkout/use the latest revision of Extbase, and apply
those patches also to Extbase:
  * http://forge.typo3.org/issues/show/6233
  * http://forge.typo3.org/issues/show/6232

Thanks for your attention! It would be really great if some of you
are interested in testing this and giving some feedback. =o)

Please ask, if any questions come up or anything behaves awkward!

Have a nice evening,
