new columns/columnstitle in backend: Backend:

in the directory 'typo3conf' is a file named 'extTables.php'.
edit this one and enter the following:

<php-code>
	t3lib_extMgm::addPageTSConfig('
	mod.SHARED.colPos_list = 0,1,2,3,4,5
	');

	$TCA["tt_content"]["columns"]["colPos"]["config"]["items"] = array(
	"0" => array ("middle||Mitte||||||||","0"),
	"1" => array ("left||Links||||||||","1"),
	"2" => array ("down left||Unten Links||||||||","2"),
	"3" => array ("right||Rechts||||||||","3"),
	"4" => array ("down right||Unten Rechts||||||||","4"),
	"5" => array ("footer||Fusszeile||||||||","5")
	); 
// the titles are given in multiple languages for different BE-languages:
maybe like english|danish|german|?|?|... (I don't know exactly)
</php-code>


pay attention to have a line in 'localconf.php':

<php-code>
	$typo_db_extTableDef_script = 'extTables.php'; 
</php-code>

for completness:
you access the new columns like this:
<typoscript-code>
	temp.additionalcolumn = CONTENT
	temp.additionalcolumn {
		table = tt_content
		select {
			pidInList = this
			orderBy = sorting
			where = colPos = <column-number>
		}
	}
</typoscript-code>
