[TYPO3-templavoila] Adding tt_content record uid to FCE pseudo-record in tslib_cObj

[Lucas Thurston]

Now that I think of it, it'd be nice to have a running count on 
repetitive data objects in an FCE that was accessible through 
{field:count}.  One could, in this case, produce a unique identifying 
string from TypoScript for each repeating object:

temp = TEXT
temp.value = <tag id="{field:uid}_{field:count}">Blah blah</tag>
temp.insertData = 1

The FCE could then pick up temp.

Any thoughts on this?
