[TYPO3-english] Powermail Signal Slots

[Manfred Mirsch]

Hi,
I wrote a little extension for providing a function our customers were 
asking for.

We have registration forms with a maximum number of applicants.
To implement this, I extended powermail flexform to enter the maximum 
number, whis worked fine.

I then implemented two signal slots, where the number of stored emails 
for the certain page is compared with the given value enterd inside the 
flexform. If the maximum nuber is reached a http redirect will be done 
instead of rendering the form.

The only problem I have is, where to get the flexform-settings inside my 
single-slot controller.
The second aragument, which contains the FormController from powermail 
has no method to deliver the protected variable "settings".

Anyone has a clue, how to manage this?

As a dirty hack, I implemented a MyFormController class, that extends 
FormController and implements a getter function for the settings.

Thanks,
Manfred Mirsch
