[TYPO3-mvc] Where / how to store extension related data?

[Henjo Hoeksma]

You could also create a configuration object in your model... In that case
you still work pretty clean, though it might not be the right way of Domain
Modeling.

I did some of what you want to achieve on the plugin side. With a fallback
to TS.

Kind regards,

Henjo

Problems are small because we learned how to deal with them.
