Clean Up Extension


Before we proceed to programming, we need to make certain adjustments to the generated extension and add new files and directories.

At the time of writing this book, the Kickstarter extension did not fully follow TYPO3 coding guidelines. Therefore, the extension has to be adjusted to follow these guidelines closer. This may not be the fact when the reader reads this book because Kickstater could already be fixed. Nevertheless, we will see what needs to be changed in the generated code.

Here is a list of nonconforming items produced by Kickstarter:

  • Using double quotes instead of single

  • Missing spaces around the string concatenation operator (dot)

  • Missing spaces after commas

  • Lines longer than 80 characters

While these items do not affect functionality, they should be cleaned up because code must use consistent coding style.
