[TYPO3-templavoila] Nifty problem with TV and CONTENT using colPos

[Karsten Dambekalns]

Hi.

I have a site here, where TV is used (basically only to enable the use of
one FCE allowing editors to put two-column content anywhere they like).

The site also has a right and a left column, which (as usual?!) contains
mostly the same on all pages. So I changed the DS to select the content for
those columns with this TS:
        10 = CONTENT
        10.slide = -1
        10.slide.collect = -1
        10.slide.collectReverse = 1
        10.table = tt_content
        10.select.pidInList = this
        10.select.orderBy = sorting
        10.select.where = colPos = 1

This works like it should, but has one problem: TV doesn't set the colPos to
anything useful. As soon as the colPos get's set to the correct value
(normal, left, right) in the CEs, the display is correct.

So, I'd need one of two solutions I can think of:
 a) Make TV set the colPos to a value defined in the DS. That would allow me 
    to define "left" (0) for my "Left column" field's CEs.
 b) Have something like the slide property for TV.

Now, please feel free to tell me a) and/or b) exist already. :) As an
alternative, I'd also gladly accept pointers to possible solutions. ;)
