# Feature: #47006 - Extend the widget identifier with custom string {#feature-47006-extend-the-widget-identifier-with-custom-string}

See [forge#47006](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/47006)

## Description {#description}

The parameter `customWidgetId` has been introduced for fluid widgets. This string is used in the widget identifier
in addition to the `nextWidgetNumber`.

The widget identifier is used to create the GET parameter names.

A good value for the `customWidgetId` is the {contentObjectData.uid} to ensure no collisions happen.

Example:

```none
<f:widget.paginate customWidgetId="{contentObjectData.uid}" ...></f:widget.paginate>
```

## Impact {#impact}

Allows to use the same fluid widget more than once on one page in different content elements.
