[TYPO3] Using COA for configuring one's extension

[Francois Suter]

Hi Xavier,

> 10.file = fileadmin/somefile.wav
> 10.metadata.field = ID3:Title // ID3:Artist

If you load your data in the content object's data 
(tslib_content::data), then you have it available to work in TypoScript. 
This can be done by directly accessing this "data" array or by calling 
the start() method of an instance of tslib_content and passing it a full 
  PHP array. Example:

$metadata = array('data1' => 'foo', 'data2' => 'bar');
$localCObj = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tslib_cObj');
$localCObj->start($metadata);

Then in your TS you can use something like:

10 = TEXT
10.field = data1

and that will render as "foo".
