Maybe I should try another way, where I only use typoscript:

I have a template with a marker called ###TT_NEWS_PLUGIN###

 From my php code I try something like this:

$markerArray['###TT_NEWS_PLUGIN###'] = $conf['insertnews'];

and in my ts setup for the current page I have inserted this:

plugin.tt_news {
  templateFile = 
fileadmin/templates/extensions/tt_news/tt_news_latest_small.html
  code = LATEST
  latestLimit = 2
  pid_list = 248
}

plugin.tx_myplugin_pi1.newsmarker < plugin.tt_news

But the output is "USER".

Any hints?
