Description
I overlooked the current architecture of Formhandler and found out some things:
- PDF generation is handled differently than all the other components.
- The AJAX stuff uses hardcoded xajax
- Finisher_Mail uses t3lib_htmlMail no matter what
I would like to change some things to achieve the following:
- Extendable AJAX handlers to be able to use other stuff like JQuery or Mootools instead of Xajax.
- Handle PDF generation with the extension 'webkitpdf' to make sure the user can customize and design the PDF exactly as they want to.
- Make the mailer class used by Finisher_Mail configurable. In order to do that we need a wrapper for t3lib_htmlMail and provide an interface for other mailer classes.
For this reason I opened a branch to do not disturb the current quality of the trunk.
This is just a ticket to inform about my current thoughts.
Any feedback is welcome.
