Hello all,

Thanks for your answers, and sorry for my late reply.

The problem is that a category has multiple products, where a product 
can the be marked as either for sale or as a request. That means, that 
the category.products contain products of both types. This has the 
problem that when querying the count in fluid, or using the grouped for, 
it is not possible to count the items (because they need to be of the 
right type). Therefore I created a method on a category called 
getItemsForSale() and getItemsForRequest(), which used the repository to 
fetch only the items belonging to the specific category with the correct 
type.

It works for now, but I would probably create it a little different next 
time :-)
