[TYPO3-ect] MVC and image rendering...

[Steve Ryan]

Hi Ries,
   I'd suggest that converting the image filename(s) stored in the model 
into an image tag (possibly pointing at a thumbnailed image) would be 
view functionality. Possibly just the template or anything reusable 
toward generating the thumbnail link back in the view class.

Can't see the efficiency problem, the image data in the model is small.
Even if the images were binary blobs and there were lots of them, you 
still only have the one copy of the data stored in the model being 
accessed from the view template. Object(and array?) assignments are by 
reference in php.

$modelClassName =tx_div::makeInstanceClassName('tx_apples_models_example');
$model=new $modelClassName();
$modelCopy=$model;
$modelCopy->set('help','me');
return $model->get('help');

gives 'me'


cheers
