[TYPO3-ect] tx_party - model interface with IRRE

[David Toshack]

Calling all IRRE gurus,

This extension will hopefully be an integral part of TYPO3 party
information management; and some improvements to backend usability is
probably a logical next step.

The latest code[1] and model documentation[2] is readily available and
will hopefully soon be moved to forge.typo3.org.

Sooo ... who'd like to offer some pointers on injecting some IRRE magic?

Even to make a start on the easy 1:1 or 1:n relationships would be nice.

We might have to put off the n:m relationships until this IRRE bug[4] is
sorted but I thought starting a discussion between the TYPO3 IRRE
experts is probably the best place to start.

There's a few open tasks listed on the wiki[3] that lend themselves
towards these issues. Would anybody care to modify or put your name down
for any of these?

Jeff, The extension sv_feusersticketing has an interesting method of
calendar based purchases. It creates tickets with an expiry date to
assign usergroups to users. Tickets can be purchased using the commerce
extension. I'm not sure if this helps but its a great way to make use of
other existing extensions for generic functionality.


Cheers,
David
