[TYPO3-mvc] capture and re-use controller/view output

[Loek Hilgersom]

Hi Henjo,

Thank you for answering. Creating partials is definately a must, but then I am 
still producing two almost identical controllers and that just doesn't look like 
the best way to do it. The task-list is a sort aggregate list of different types 
of objects, and therefor the controller needs to do a bit more than just 
assigning an object to a view.

Maybe there is too much logic in the controller now, and I need to move that to 
the views? I'm still struggling with all the new MVC concepts etc, suggestions 
are more than welcome.

Loek
