How to map tt_content in own extbase extension? - mapping

Question

i got one model that has some properties and a 1:1 relation to my second model in the same extension and i wanted to map that second model completely to tt_content.
so the user can insert a tt_content object into my first model.
No Problem in the BE. I can insert objects from the first model and in there i can insert a tt_content object. In the Database my first model got that "content" column where the uid of the tt_content object so i thought everything is correct...
But then to the Controller... i just get nothing... just a NULL value on the "content" property...
this is how i tested the "content" property:
$contentBoxes = $this->contentBoxRepository->findAll();
print(gettype($contentBoxes->current()->getContent()));
and it returns just "NULL"
aaaaaand here are some infos about that first model whitch contains the tt_content object:
First Model:
class Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_ContentBox extends Tx_Extbase_DomainObject_AbstractEntity {
/**
* Content
*
* #var Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content
*/
protected $content;
...........
/**
* Returns the content
*
* #return Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content $content
*/
public function getContent() {
return $this->content;
}
/**
* Sets the content
*
* #param Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content $content
* #return void
*/
public function setContent(Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content $content) {
$this->content = $content;
}
...............
}
Second Model:
class Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content extends Tx_Extbase_DomainObject_AbstractEntity {
}
The "content" section in the TCA of the first Model:
'content' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:plusb_slidingcontent/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xml:tx_plusbslidingcontent_domain_model_contentbox.content',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'inline',
'foreign_table' => 'tt_content',
'minitems' => 0,
'maxitems' => 1,
'appearance' => array(
'collapseAll' => 0,
'levelLinksPosition' => 'top',
'showSynchronizationLink' => 1,
'showPossibleLocalizationRecords' => 1,
'showAllLocalizationLink' => 1
),
),
),
And in the TS Setup i added this in "persistence":
classes {
Tx_PlusbSlidingcontent_Domain_Model_Content {
mapping {
tableName = tt_content
columns {
}
}
}
}
i just don't know where the error is in that config... doesn't the repository/model/anything have to autofill the content property on the first model with an object of the second model? at least an empty one?

(Answered by the OP in a question edit. Converted to a community wiki answer. See Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat) )
The OP wrote:
okay mystery solved...
the extension_builder adds a file called "ext_typoscript_setup.txt". In that file there is the for tt_content deadly "recordType" definition... removed that and voila... everything worked

Yes its very easy to integrate tt_content field in your extension.
If you want to set second title field in your tt_content record then you have to set following script in your ext_table.php
$tempColumns = array(
'subtitle' => array(
'exclude' => 0,
'label' => 'title2',
'config' => array(
'type' => 'input'
)
)
);
Then you have to load tt_content TCA file
#This is for EXTBASE Extension
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::loadTCA('tt_content');
OR
#This is for PI Base Extension
t3lib_div::loadTCA("tx_dam_cat");
Following field will user for PARTICULAR EXTENSION then use following script.
$TCA["tt_content"]["types"]["list"]["subtypes_excludelist"]["abc_pqr"]="layout,select_key,pages";
$TCA["tt_content"]["types"]["list"]["subtypes_addlist"]["abc_pqr"]="subtitle;;;;1-1-1";
