[TYPO3-dev] Fake / simulate frontend environment ( TSFE )

[Mario Matzulla]

Hi Elmar,

cal creates a TSFE in its api too. We copied most of the stuff from the 
spellchecker (rte). But there is one drawback: 
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->initFEuser();

If you are logged in to the frontend while calling this method, you get 
logged out. So I decided to extend the tslib_fe class and overwrite the 
according functions:

require_once (PATH_tslib.'class.tslib_fe.php');

class tx_cal_tsfe extends tslib_fe {
	function tx_cal_tsfe($TYPO3_CONF_VARS, $id, $type, $no_cache='', 
$cHash='', $jumpurl='',$MP='',$RDCT=''){
		return $this->tslib_fe($TYPO3_CONF_VARS, $id, $type, $no_cache, 
$cHash, $jumpurl,$MP,$RDCT);
	}
	
	function pageNotFoundHandler($code, $header='', $reason='')	{
		//do nothing
	}
	
	function pageNotFoundAndExit($reason='', $header='')	{
		// do nothing
	}
}

Regards,
Mario
