[TYPO3-mvc] Query settings for showing hidden objects

[Andreas Kiessling]

Hi,

one big drawback of using setRespectEnableFields is, that this also 
skips start- end endtime + some other statements that are evaluated in 
t3lib_pageSelect::enableFields.
I have some scenarios with multilanguage setups, where localized records 
need to be shown, although the record in default language is  hidden. In 
pibase, you can just tell enableFields to also fetch hidden records 
first [1] Of course wrapped in some condition, that this only happens 
when config.sys_language_uid > 0
When you fetch the overlay record, the visibility of that record then 
needs to be taken into account.

I tried to implement that in Extbase some time ago, but the big problem 
is, that this api is only available in the frontend 
($GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_page->enableFields), but not in the backend 
(t3lib_BEfunc::BEenableFields)

Is there any other to only include "hidden" records, but respect 
settings for start- and endtime?

Regards,
Andreas
