[TYPO3-english] Adding new content-column

Hi,

Im working on a HTML-template, and i would very much like to add a new
content-column.

So far, I have made another column  (4)  in the backend, by editing the file
"extTables.php" ...so now i looks like this:

$TCA["tt_content"]["columns"]["colPos"]["config"]["items"] = array (
      "3" => array ("CONTENT BOTTOM||||||||||","3"), // rename BORDER to
NEWS
      "2" => array ("CONTENT RIGHT||||||||||","2"),
      "1" => array ("CONTENT LEFT||||||||||","1"),
      "0" => array ("MAIN CONTENT 1||||||||||","0"),
      "4" => array ("MAIN CONTENT 2||||||||||","4") // add extra column
);

In my "page-properties" i have the this TSconfig to show all columns:
mod.SHARED.colPos_list=1,0,4,2,3

So now all columns are shown in the backend..but the problem
is....whatever I put in this "new" column..there are no outpt in the
frontend !

Im thinking that I need a "MARKER" in my HTML-template for this new column,
as well as I have markers for all the other content-columns:
Existing content marker example: <!-- ###CONTENT_LEFT### START--> <!--
###CONTENT_LEFT### END-->

So I made this new "MARKER" in my template: <!-- ###CONTENT_MAIN2###
START--> <!-- ###CONTENT_MAIN2### END-->

And in my T3 template-setup I have this:

lib.stdheader.10.stdWrap.wrap =
tt_content.stdWrap.dataWrap = <A name="{field:uid}"></a>

page = PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
config.pageTitleFirst = 1
page.stylesheet = fileadmin/templates/wfu/style.css
page.1 = TEMPLATE
page.1.marks.PAGE_UID = TEXT
page.1.marks.PAGE_UID.field = uid
page.1  {
   template = FILE
   template.file = fileadmin/templates/wfu/wfu_template07_2010_start.html
   workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT_BODY
   subparts.CONTENT_LEFT < styles.content.getLeft
   subparts.CONTENT_RIGHT < styles.content.getRight
   subparts.CONTENT_BORDER < styles.content.getBorder
   subparts.CONTENT < styles.content.get

So I was hoping that by adding this line: subparts.CONTENT_BOTTOM <
styles.content.getMain2  I would be able to output content from my new
column,..but no luck !

I really hope that this ( rather long ) description makes sense, and that
someone can help me with this :-)
