[TYPO3-english] Adding content columns + grid view

[Katja Lampela]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a nice how-to-do of making more content columns in addition to the default four (0=normal, 1=left, 2=right, 3=border). And with this the great new grid view of course.

I would much appreciate any feedback if all these steps are necessary or if there is some extra/errourness code.

Here is an example of adding 2 more columns (4=topbanner, 5=bottombanner)

The steps are
1. add/define the columns in typo3conf/extTables.php.
2. add/define the columns in template setup
3. define backend layout


*STEP 1 example:*

t3lib_extMgm::addPageTSConfig('
mod.SHARED.colPos_list = 0,1,2,3,4,5
');

$TCA["tt_content"]["columns"]["colPos"]["config"]["items"] = array (
					"0" => array ("NORMAL||||||||||","0"),
					"1" => array ("LEFT||||||||||","1"),
					"2" => array ("RIGHT||Unten Links||||||||","2"),
					"3" => array ("BORDER||Rechts||||||||","3"),
					"4" => array ("TOPBANNER||Rechts||||||||","4"),
					"5" => array ("BOTTOMBANNER||Rechts||||||||","5"),
					);


*STEP 2 example:*

temp.addcol4 = CONTENT
temp.addcol4 {
	table = tt_content
	select {
		pidInList = this
		orderBy = sorting
		where = colPos = 4
		languageField = sys_language_uid
	}
}
temp.addcol5 = CONTENT
temp.addcol5 {
	table = tt_content
	select {
		pidInList = this
		orderBy = sorting
		where = colPos = 5
		languageField = sys_language_uid
	}
}

page.10 {
    marks.colAla < temp.addcol4
    marks.colAla < temp.addcol5
}


*STEP 3 example:*

- Create a Backend Layout record with desired layout, which results for example:
backend_layout {

	colCount = 5
	rowCount = 3
	rows {
		1 {
			columns {
				1 {
					name = Bottombanner
					colPos = 4
					colspan = 4
				}
			}
		}
		2 {
			columns {
				1 {
					name = Left
					colPos = 1
				}
				2 {
					name = Normal
					colPos = 0
				}
				3 {
					name = Border
					colPos = 3
				}
				4 {
					name = Right
					colPos = 2
				}
			}
		}
		3 {
			columns {
				1 {
					name = Bottombanner
					colPos = 5
					colspan = 4
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
