[TYPO3-mvc] How to cope with anonymous FE user entries

[Thomas Hucke]

Hi Bastian,

thank you very much for your suggestions.
I decided to simply map all anonymous votings to a special FE user which 
takes this role.
That seemed the easiest and most capable way for me to handle this issue.

BTW: Runs fine!

Regards
Thomas

No, only if you expect a Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser the
specified uid needs to belong to a valid FE user record.

What about s.th. like:

class Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Voter extends
Tx_Extbase_DomainObject_AbstractEntity {

/**
* The voter of this object
*
* @var Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser
* @lazy
*/
protected $frontendUser;

public function isAnonymous() {
return $this->frontendUser === NULL;
}

public function getFrontendUser() {
// ...
}

public function setFrontendUser(Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUser
$frontendUser) {
// ...
}
}


And then

// ...

/**
  * The voter of this object
  *
  * @var Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Voter
  * @lazy
  */
protected $voter;

/**
  * Sets the voter of this vote
  *
  * @param Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Voter $voter
  * @return void
  */
public function setVoter(Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Voter $voter) {
$this->voter = $voter;
}

/**
  * Returns the voter of this vote
  *
  * @return Tx_YourExt_Domain_Model_Voter
  */
public function getVoter() {
return $this->voter;
}

// ...

in your vote Domain Model?
