Not too much has happend since the last report from the Installer Development front. Anyway, I want to talk a little bit about the last changes.

Sebastian has implemented a first version of the view object. This one implements several render methods that provide various outputs for the result sets from the modules. Apropos modules. We now have a first very basic module that checks for the needed directories. It already prints out a list with the result of that checks. You can see that in the screenshot where the result from the directories module is nested in the result from another (table) module.

Another small thing is, that the output now uses the stylesheets from TYPO3. So the installer has almost the same look as the rest of the backend. I say "almost" because I didn't manged to import the stylesheets from skins, so currently the installer looks alway as the classic skin. I think that can only be a small fix. I'll work in that tomorrow.

So far so good. I have time to work fulltime on the installer for the next two days and than I have a week of vacation where I can work a little bit more on the implementation.

If you are interested in the progress, feel free to checkout out the most recent sources from sourceforge and tell me your opinion.

Greets,

Thomas
