[TYPO3-dev] recordOverlay, versionOL and IRRE: tricky combination

[Andreas Kiessling]

Hi,

i'm using multiple languages, workspaces and some content elements, that 
have multiple IRRE elements attached to it. (Needed for  DAM-relations, 
otherwise would have used regular file upload)

When i create an IRRE-record, it saves the uid of the tt_content element 
in its field "tt_content_uid". Publishing seems to work fine, but i have 
trouble displaying the content element in the workspace preview.

In default language, there is a "_ORIG_uid" which i can use to fetch the 
records, attached to the workspace element. But when not in default 
language, getRecordOverlay fetches the right content element from the 
workspace, but does not assign "_ORIG_uid" to the returned record. Is 
using that variable "dirty" or is there another official way to do this? 
Or is it simply a missing feature?

Regards,
Andreas
