I would like to do this:
- insert a custom tag in a XML field of an Article- in the template of that custom tag find out what is the object id of the Article where the tag was inserted.
Is this possible and how?

Hi there, i would first try {attribute(show,$object)}and see what it returns...
And then figure out where to go...
What do you think ?

Unfortunately using the $object variable doesn't work, I've already tried it. Any other idea anyone? Is this possible to do?

In my experience, it is not possible to get this information (objectid, nodeid) in custom tag. At least not in 3.9 version of eZ Publish.
It seems that the only variables visible are those passed by custom tag parameters.

I seems that it is possible to get current node (and objectid from it) in custom tag after all :), by using global variable $#node. I found it being used in 4.1 custom tag (children_menu):
<div class="class-{$#node.class_identifier}">
Is there a complete list of variables available in custom tags?

I hope it works in eZ 3.10.1 too, I'll give it a try.

I think it should work. I tested it on a 3.9 installation and it worked.
It would be nice if it was documented, though. On a previous project we lost quite a bit time on this. :)

All variables in 'parent' templates are available by using global scope on variable ('#')*.As for witch variables available inline in custom template, it should be its attributes ($name and $align as of 4.1), $content and any custom attributes you may have on the current custom tag.
* note that variables in node/system templates are not available in pagelayout and its templates, see operator ezpagedata_[set|append] for this (uses persistent_variable node templates and private class member for system templates internally) .
