addPItoST43?
TYPO3 sometimes drives me nuts. It happens that I come across cryptic function or property names, using them over and over again without having a clue, what its name stands for. t3lib_extMgm::addPItoST43() is one of them, although it is part of almost a billion TYPO3 extensions...
Not only that we have the optionSplit beast, but we are hunted by the magic number 43. And we add PI to number ST43!
Today, I had enough and tried to find out, what 43 stands for. Finaly, the source code documentation led the cat out of the bag: 43 is the uid of the static template 'content.default' and the function name means: Add PlugIn to Static Template #43. Now don't worry if you use css_styled_content instead of static templates: The docs promise it will work anyway.
