[TYPO3-dev] The concept behind the model-array?

Hi Walter,

Your first post seemed to be about a totally different issue? So you're 
now simply looking for a way on how to access the equivalent for piVars 
from inside the model? Just hand the controller over to the model and 
grab it from there.


$result = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTquery($fields, $tables, 
$where, $groupBy, $orderBy);
if($result) {
	while($row = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
		// assuming that you're currently working in your controller, hand 
"$this" over to the model as second parameter
		$entry = new tx_lib_object($row,$this);
		$this->append($entry);
	}
}

 From inside the model you simply do this then:

$this->controller->parameters->get('fieldname');
