TYPO3 Core

The correct way is to add a repository and override the createQuery method, in which you set something along the lines of

$querySettings->setIgnoreEnableFields(true);
$querySettings->setEnableFieldsToBeIgnored(['disable']);

Then any of your respository methods will implicitly ignore the enable fields. Even the ugly auto-magic (unimplemented) findByRandomProperty methods.

In my projects I usually have multiple createQuery* methods like createQueryRespectingEnableFields and createQueryIgnoringEnableFields and call them explicitly.

I'm not sure wether this ticket here is a valid request. Extbase gives you all the API methods you need, you just have to call or implement them. Or I misunderstood the request.

Oh. This ticket is old. I can't recall the problem. Thanks for commenting. Maybe the problem was specific on "related" models. Please close this. Thanks.
