[TYPO3-mvc] Native DateTime properties not supported by DataMapper

[Nicolas de Haen]

Hi,

I just added the new native DateTime and Date support into the 
ExtensionBuilder and ran into problems with the DataMapper.

It seems the mapDateTime method is only capable to convert timestamps 
but not strings like '21-12-2012' or '21-12-2012 00:00:01'.

I wanted to provide a patch but then I saw that there is another issue 
related to DateTime/DataMapper http://forge.typo3.org/issues/9087 which 
is on hold since 5 month.

Is there any plan or strategy how to solve this?

Would it make sense just to patch the method for now, ignoring the other 
issue?

It's just a 2 line patch:

elseif(is_string($timestamp) && strtotime($timestamp) !== FALSE) {
	$timestamp = strtotime($timestamp);
}

regards,
Nico
btw: do we really have not a single DataMapper unit test at the moment?
