[TYPO3-english] TS-Problem: Empty select if FCE is a reference

[Andre Dittmar]

Dear List,

I'm using the abstract of the page properties as content in a FCE- 
Element in the field "field_text". A existing abstract may be  
overwritten by user input in this field. Everything working fine so  
far, excepting when I make a reference of the FCE-Element. The content  
of field "field_headline" will still be shown in the frontend  
correctly, but the abstract of the "field_text" is missing. The  
content of "field_text" works, if the content is entered directly in  
the original FCE (and so overwrites the abstract from page  
properties). The field "field_headlink" is a "Link"-Element, thus it  
contents the Page-ID of a selected page.

I guess the problem is, that "field_headlink" is empty in the  
reference-Element and therefore the select of the CONTENT-Object  
returns nothing. The question is now how to optimize this part? I have  
no clue at the moment how to handle this in a alternative way?

I happy for any clues and ideas!

Best regards,
Andre
