[TYPO3-english] Adding content columns + grid view

[Sergey Alexandrov]

Well, if this is for adding banners only, I wouldn't do this at all. All 
you need to do is to define banners in template setup (for example)

temp.topbanners<plugin.tx_macinabanners_pi1
temp.topbanners{
placement=top
mode=random
results_at_a_time=3
pidList=PID_LIST_OF_BANNERS_FOLDER
image.file.maxW=170
templateFile=uploads/tf/banner_template.html
}

Then create top/bottom banners in the folder and define banner placements

Add marks into your template

page.10.marks.TOPBAN < temp.topbanners
page.10.marks.BOTBAN < temp.topbanners
page.10.marks.BOTBAN.placement=bottom

No need to create additional columns (in this case, of course)

To add more 'virtual' column you can try to use jfmulticontent extension 
as well

Best wishes, have fun!
