typo3 css_styled content edit source - typo3

Question

I have the following problem:
I am using typo3 4.7.7 and I am adding custom columns in the Backend. I am able to do taht by place a configuration array in the /typo3conf/extTables.php
$TCA["tt_content"]["columns"]["colPos"]["config"]["items"] = array (
"3" => array ("Border,"3"),
"2" => array ("Right","2"),
"1" => array ("Left","1"),
"0" => array ("Normal","0"),
"5" => array ("Central","5"),
"6" => array ("Border","6"),
"4" => array ("Footer","4")
);
Then set:
mod.SHARED.colPos_list=0,1,2,3,4,5,6
in the TSconfig.
It is working, I enjoy my new columns :), but there is a problem. I want to be able to use the css_styled_content to map my new columns to my html template. This is not possible, because the "get" constants of css_styled_content are hard coded and I am not able to use something like "content.getFooter". At the moment the only way I can get my content is like this:
...
page.10 = CONTENT
page.10.table = tt_content
page.10.select {
orderBy = sorting
where = colPos = 4
}
page.10.renderObj = COA
page.10.renderObj {
10 = TEXT
10.field = header
20 = TEXT
20.field = bodytext
}
...
This is a lot of code, so I was wondering if there is a way to "make" CSC recognize my new columns, so that I would be able to use "content.getMYCUSTOM_COLUMN_NAME".
P.S. I do not want to use templavoila and I found something in the source of CSC under /static/setup.txt :
# Clear out any constants in this reserved room!
styles.content >
# get content
styles.content.get = CONTENT
styles.content.get {
table = tt_content
select.orderBy = sorting
select.where = colPos=0
select.languageField = sys_language_uid
}
# get content, left
styles.content.getLeft < styles.content.get
styles.content.getLeft.select.where = colPos=1
# get content, right
styles.content.getRight < styles.content.get
styles.content.getRight.select.where = colPos=2
# get content, margin
styles.content.getBorder < styles.content.get
styles.content.getBorder.select.where = colPos=3
# get news
styles.content.getNews < styles.content.get
styles.content.getNews.select.pidInList = {$styles.content.getNews.newsPid}
# Edit page object:
styles.content.editPanelPage = COA
styles.content.editPanelPage {
10 = EDITPANEL
10 {
allow = toolbar,move,hide
label.data = LLL:EXT:css_styled_content/pi1/locallang.xml:eIcon.page
label.wrap = | <b>%s</b>
}
}
I then tried to add:
# get content, footer
styles.content.getFooter < styles.content.get
styles.content.getFooter.select.where = colPos=4
But it did not work.

Answer 1

you are on the right track. try to create your own Content Object:
temp.footer < styles.content.get
temp.footer.select.where = colPos=4
page = PAGE
page.100 < temp.footer
