Using Image Content Objects from tt_content in Extbase - typo3

Question

I want to write an Extbase Backend module which needs a list of all Objects generated from tt_content with CType = 'image'.
Now I started defining a simple model
class Tx_Myextension_Domain_Model_Content extends Tx_Extbase_DomainObject_AbstractEntity
{
/**
* #var string
*/
protected $header;
/**
* #return the $header
*/
public function getHeader()
{
return $this->header;
}
/**
* #param string $header
*/
public function setHeader($header)
{
$this->header = $header;
}
}
and a Repository
class Tx_Myextension_Domain_Repository_ContentRepository extends Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Repository
{
public function initializeObject()
{
$querySettings = $this->objectManager->create('Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Typo3QuerySettings');
$querySettings->setRespectStoragePage(FALSE);
$this->setDefaultQuerySettings($querySettings);
}
}
As far as I know the initializeObject method is a way to get all content elements, no matter which pid they have.
At last I tried to map my Content Class on tt_content:
plugin.tx_myextension {
persistence {
classes {
Tx_Myextension_Domain_Model_Content {
mapping {
tableName = tt_content
recordType = Tx_Myextension_Domain_Model_Content
columns {
header.mapOnProperty = header
}
}
}
}
}
}
module.tx_myextension {
persistence < plugin.tx_myextension.persistence
}
No I want to use the Repo. e.g. countAll. Unfortunately it always returns 0. Looking for the MySQL query discovers the problem:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM tt_content
WHERE (tt_content.CType='Tx_Myextension_Domain_Model_Content')
AND tt_content.deleted=0 AND tt_content.hidden=0
AND (tt_content.starttime<=1313073660)
AND (tt_content.endtime=0 OR tt_content.endtime>1313073660)
AND tt_content.sys_language_uid IN (0,-1)
AND tt_content.pid IN (0)
Typo 3 or Extbase or something different added all these where clauses to the query. I just want to get rid of the CType and pid clauses. As I said, I thought that the method used in the Repo leads to ignoring the pid, which is obviously not the case.
Can somebody help me? All I want is an array of Image Content Elements. Thank you in advance.

Late answer: You'll most likely want to call
query->getQuerySettings()
->setRespectEnableFields(FALSE)
->setRespectSysLanguage(FALSE);
for your query. You can disable it for all queries in your repository's initializeObject method:
$querySettings = $this->objectManager->create('Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Typo3QuerySettings');
$querySettings
->setRespectStoragePage(FALSE)
->setRespectEnableFields(FALSE)
->setRespectSysLanguage(FALSE);
$this->setDefaultQuerySettings($querySettings);
See: TYPO 3 API docs

Try to remove the Node "recordType" from your Persistence Definition.
