[TYPO3-dev] Problem fetching FAL-FileReference via Extbase

[Michael Bakonyi]

Hi,

based on these informations:

http://buzz.typo3.org/teams/extbase/article/fal-and-extbase-the-easy-part/
http://wiki.typo3.org/FAL#Usage_in_Extbase_.28in_progress.29

I'm trying to develop an extension where files are listed and can be 
downloaded.

I double-checked my configuration of model, TCA etc. but in the frontend 
the property "originalResource" is always "NULL". So I can't access all 
the properties of my file to build the download-link for example. All 
other properties (uid, fileRepository, pid etc.) of the reference are 
present.

I shortly had a look at the model 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference and there is the function 
"getOriginalResource" which handles exact this case (if originalResource 
is NULL) but it seems like this function never gets called.

Is this a bug or do I have to initiate this function somewhere in my 
extension?

Btw: fetching images via Fluid and "treatIdAsReference" is working but 
for images there seems to be a separate processing within 
TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject / getImgResource()

Looking forward to hear from you,

Cheers,
Michael
