[TYPO3] Using COA for configuring one's extension

Hi Francois,

>> The goal is being able to get this from TS using this syntax:
>>
>> 10 = FILEINFO
>> 10.file = fileadmin/somefile.wav
>> 10.metadata.field = ID3:Title // ID3:Artist
>

> This can be done by directly accessing this "data" array or by calling

> 
> $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".

Thanks for this information. This answers a question I had.
