[TYPO3-mvc] ExtBase Ext without own tables, just using other tables (pages)

[Stephen Bungert]

Thanks for the reply.

What TS am I missing exactly?

I have the book about developing extensions with extbase and fluid, but it 
just says when using other tables as datasources that you just need to add 
to the mapping array

in persistence.classes

In the book, there is an example about using tt_address.

I just changed a few things so that it worked with pages.

I have the pages model Tx_Nextprev_Domain_Model_Pages that has getters and 
setters for all the columns that I mapped.

Isn't the storage pid just the pid field? Pages have them too I believe.
