Edit hidden records in frontend

I am building an extension to edit tt_news records in frontend. I set setIgnoreEnableFields(TRUE) in my repository. But if I try edit a hidden record, I get the error

Object with identity „12345" not found.

Any solution for this?

The problem is the PropertyMapping. If extbase try to assign an uid (12345) to an Domain Object (tt_news) the "setEnableFields" setting of the Repository isn't respected. So you must fetch the object by yourself.

the simple solution is to do this in an initialize*Action for each "show" action. For editAction an example:

public function initializeEditAction() {
  if ($this->request->hasArgument('news')) {
    $newsUid = $this->request->getArgument('news');

    if (!$this->newsRepository->findByUid($newsUid)) {
      $defaultQuerySettings = $this->newsRepository->createQuery()->getQuerySettings();
      $defaultQuerySettings->setIgnoreEnableFields(TRUE);
      $this->newsRepository->setDefaultQuerySettings($defaultQuerySettings);

      if ($news = $this->newsRepository->findByUid($newsUid)) {
        $this->request->setArgument('news', $news);
      }
    }
  }
}

The Hard Part is to get the object to update. As I never try this I have found an TypeConverter to fetch also hidden Records at https://gist.github.com/helhum/58a406fbb846b56a8b50

Maybe Instead to register the TypeConverter for everything (like the example in ext_localconf.php) you can try to assign it only in the initializeUpdateAction

public function initializeUpdateAction() {
  if ($this->arguments->hasArgument('news')) {
    $this->arguments->getArgument('news')->getPropertyMappingConfiguration()
      ->setTypeConverter('MyVendor\\MyExtension\\Property\\TypeConverters\\MyPersistenObjectConverter')
  }
}

I am guessing you are using an action like 

/**
 * Single view of a news record
 *
 * @param \Vendor\Ext\Domain\Model\News $news news item
 */
public function detailAction(\Vendor\Ext\Domain\Model\News $news = null)

Your problem is, that the Repository is not used to fetch the record.

As a solution, remove the argument, clear the caches and try something like that 

/**
 * Single view of a news record
 *
 * @param \Vendor\Ext\Domain\Model\News $news news item
 */
public function detailAction() {
    $id = (int)$this->request->getArgument('news');
    if ($id) {
        $news = $this->newsRepository->findByUid($previewNewsId);
    }
}

Now you can manipulate the QuerySettings and use those.
