[TYPO3-mvc] How to get first object of an 1:n relation

[Dmitri Pisarev]

Hey Claus,
you are, as always, correct!
The reason why this trick worked on images for me before is that I did 
explode on them and returned them as array.
I modified the getter, following your advice, to this and it works:
public function getTypes() {
		return $this->types->toArray();
}

Thank you!

Dmitri.
