Dieter,

Create a reusable TV content element.
By Wes Currier

Map TV to HTML  DS/TO
  Map a field to your HTML template as you normally would
  Change it to an Element if it is not.
  Change Editing Type: to TypoScript Object Path
  Map and Save

Create a page where the element will reside.
  Hover over the world icon at the top of the tree (ROOT)
  Click New
  Click Page(inside) at top of menu
  Create a title (I use the name boilerplate)
  Select “General Record Storage page:” and choose the current storage page where your TV templates reside.
  Select a template (Page Template Structure:)
  Save
  Use Template Design:
    (select design that has a content area where you wish your repeatable content to reside.)
  Save
  Close

Change Page Type
  Chance page type to sys Folder
  Save

Select Template Record
  Select “list” under the WEB module [ WEB  LIST  PAGE ]
  Select the “page” with the template record
  Edit Record (pencil icon)
  Click into “setup”

    Alternate Way
      Select “template” under the WEB module [ WEB  TEMPLATE  PAGE ]
      Edit Setup (pencil icon)

Create Content Element on Newly Created Page
  Create any type of content record on your new page
  Remember the UID of the Content Element
  Remember the PID of the Page


Add TS to Setup Record
  Add the following code to your setup record
       Sources:
         http:www/typo3-unleashed.net
         http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/De:TemplaVoila

     First Method
         ###Reusable Content Element for Footer ###
         ### Footer ###

         lib.footer = CONTENT
         lib.footer {
           table = tt_content

         # UID of the content element
           uidInList = 11

         # PID of the page that the content element is placed on.
                     pidInList – 13
         }

     Second Method

           ###Reusable Content Element for Footer ###
           ### Footer ###

           lib.footer = RECORD
           lib.footer {

           SOURCE = 11
           DontCheckPid = 1
           }


Clear Cache
  Page cache
  Template Record Cache

Issues and Problems
  Although you should be able to move the content element you created to anywhere, I have not been able to move the element.
  The page where the content element is located must be a sysfolder
