it's annoying when people ask for a cake forum or cart and there isn't really one best solution |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:27 |
ProLoser|Work |
for his scenario it's okay, i'm trying to get something the community can get behind though |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:27 |
ProLoser|Work |
ya i understand |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:27 |
Phally |
yeah, i wasn't giving it to you, just describing it |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:27 |
ProLoser|Work |
lol well... i'm back at square one |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:26 |
Phally |
it is private and owned by the company |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:26 |
ProLoser|Work |
where can i find the code? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:26 |
Phally |
yeah, i don't know if it's the best way to go since i haven't the slightest clue on payment methods, but it works quite nice |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:25 |
ProLoser|Work |
where is that code now? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:25 |
ProLoser|Work |
the plugin, right? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:25 |
Phally |
i was just descibing how he built something reusable for payments |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:25 |
ProLoser|Work |
or uh do you mean seperating gateways into their own files |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:24 |
ProLoser|Work |
so your saying my solution wouldn't work for him? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:24 |
Phally |
like ccbill |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:24 |
Phally |
*etc |

tripledeal is a dutch payment method for credit cards, bank transfers erc |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:24 |
ProLoser|Work |
what is a tripledeal controller? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:23 |
Phally |
ProLoser|Work: yeah, because all those payment methods are so different, he said he needed to separate the logic |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:22 |
ProLoser|Work |
for cakephp? |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:22 |
Phally |
ProLoser|Work: what a collegue of mine did in the past.. he made a payments plugin with a ccbill_controller, a tripledeal_controller etc |
| # |

no team development (outside the core) and no expanded scripts |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:21 |
ProLoser|Work |
i think it's why the selection of scripts out there is somewhat poor at times |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:21 |
ProLoser|Work |
instead of the "this code fits this need in this specific way and must be installed thusly to do that" |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:21 |
ProLoser|Work |
that way if people want more gateways, they simply create a new datasource that links into the behavior, causing more people to reuse the same scripts |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:20 |
ProLoser|Work |
so the idea of creating a set of standards that filters through a payment gateway behavior and then use your paymentgateway on your site |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:20 |
ProLoser|Work |
for instance, there are lots of datasources, and a few payment gateways, but they are all slightly tedious to setup |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:20 |
ProLoser|Work |
but more than than, making the abstract and modular |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:19 |
ProLoser|Work |
preventing scope creep |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:19 |
ProLoser|Work |
well ya |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:19 |
Phally |
and make it flexible so people can put like anything in it |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:19 |
ProLoser|Work |
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 |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:18 |
ProLoser|Work |
or abstractly measured pricing |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:18 |
ProLoser|Work |
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 |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:18 |
ProLoser|Work |
but you cannot checkout or buy anything from them |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:17 |
ProLoser|Work |
Phally: the intention is that we haven't seen it so we don't know, but the best ideas are the ones no one's done before |
| # |

Phally |
the paginator helper is loaded in the controller when something is paginated |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:16 |
Phally |
but look at the paginator i.e. |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:15 |
ProLoser|Work |
or only having a checkout screen |
| # |
Jul 15th 2009, 17:14 |
ProLoser|Work |
ya, i like the tools approach, and offering the ability to bundle them together and attach em, which would be 1 big plugin |
