anywho, i like giving up the tools, and letting people choose how and where to apply them |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:19 |
Phally |
right, that is a nice alternative use of such a thing |

there are also aspects of a cart that is just a pain and a h alf to hack out of a prebuilt one, such as composite products |

but you cannot checkout or buy anything from them |

the paginator helper is loaded in the controller when something is paginated |

but look at the paginator i.e. |

or only having a checkout screen |

ya, i like the tools approach, and offering the ability to bundle them together and attach em, which would be 1 big plugin |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:14 |
ProLoser|Work |
however i figure there are so many prebuilt cart apps out there, even ones with modules, that what's the point of making another one? the one thing you don't get in those apps is the ability to build a cart on top of your own application, instead of hacking someone elsess |

Jul 15th 2009, 17:13 |

i think you should give the user a set of tools |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:13 |
ProLoser|Work |
while he would rather go a more drupal/modular route and create a base app that you merely design plugins for |

i would rather give people a set of tools that they can attach to their app |

so you /would/ recommend placing it all in plugins? |

Jul 15th 2009, 17:12 |

and how much effort does it make to create three folders and place a file in it? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:11 |
Phally |
well you would have a good level of separation and packaging through the plugins |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:10 |
ProLoser|Work |
and would it be worth it to wrap solely a component in a plugin? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:10 |
ProLoser|Work |
is there a reason why a plugin manager server would be made instead of one that also serves out helpers/components/behaviors? |

and it was in the form of the cakephp plugin conventions? |

on their own they don't make sense techno |

Jul 15th 2009, 16:46 |

what if there was a standardized way of package, managing, and releasing code? |

although we may want to digress to the original point of the arguments |

Jul 15th 2009, 16:45 |

am I wrong in the assumption that a Cake plugin can be as small or as large as you want it to be? A simple component all that way to a full mini app? |

gwoo said it'd be good to reserve this channel for advanced discussion not only about bakery development but about the development of components IN the bakery |
