[TYPO3-mvc] Get content elements from tt_content

[Matt Janus]

I found a solution that works.

I removed the following from the model

         /**
	 * Content Elements
	 *
	 * @var Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage<Tx_Contenttools_Domain_Model_Elements>
	 */
	protected $contentElements;


	/**
	 * __construct
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function __construct() {
		//Do not remove the next line: It would break the functionality
		$this->initStorageObjects();
	}

	/**
	 * Initializes all Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage properties.
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	protected function initStorageObjects() {
		/**
		 * Do not modify this method!
		 * It will be rewritten on each save in the extension builder
		 * You may modify the constructor of this class instead
		 */
		$this->contentElements = new Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage();
	}
	/**
	 * Returns the contentElements
	 *
	 * @return Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage<Tx_Contenttools_Domain_Model_Elements>
$contentElements
	 */
	public function getContentElements() {
		return $this->contentElements;
	}

and added the following:

	/**
	 * Content Elements
	 *
	 * @var integer
	 */
	protected $contentElements;

	/**
	 * Returns the contentElements
	 *
	 * @return integer $contentElements
	 */
	public function getContentElements() {
		return $this->contentElements;
	}

I then used a view helper in the fluid template that get all content
elements from the tt_content table with tabs = uid of the tab object

	public function render($tabID) {
		$res = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTquery('*', 'tt_content',
'deleted = "0" AND hidden = "0" AND  tabs='.$tabID, '',
'tt_content.sorting ASC', '');
		while ($row = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
			$cConf = array(
				'tables' => 'tt_content',
				'source' => ($row['uid']),
				'dontCheckPid' => 1,
			);
			$content .= $GLOBALS['TSFE']->cObj->RECORDS($cConf);
		}
		$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_free_result($res);
		
		return $content;
	}

I'm sure there is 'neater' solution using the persistence mapping of
the model, but this will work for now.

All the best
