Backend module

The extension registers a backend module Temporal Cache in the Tools section. It shows what temporal content exists, which transitions are coming up, which configuration is active, and it can apply harmonization to selected records.

Accessing the module

Navigate to Tools > Temporal Cache.

Access: The module is registered for administrators only and is available in the Live workspace only. See Access and permissions.
TYPO3 versions: The extension supports TYPO3 12.4, 13 and 14 — see Installation.

The module menu offers three views. A fourth controller action, harmonize, is the endpoint the content view calls when applying harmonization; it has no view of its own.

Counters for temporal content, the active configuration, and a day-by-day timeline of the transitions due in the next seven days.

Doc header buttons

Every view carries a reload button and a bookmark button. The dashboard additionally offers a View Content button that opens the content view.

There is no cache-flush, export or configuration-test button in the module. Flushing caches is done through the standard TYPO3 tools:

Flush all caches from the command line

vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush

Command-line equivalents

Everything the module reads is also available on the command line, and harmonization can be previewed there before it is applied:

The commands behind the module views

vendor/bin/typo3 temporalcache:analyze
vendor/bin/typo3 temporalcache:list
vendor/bin/typo3 temporalcache:harmonize --dry-run
vendor/bin/typo3 temporalcache:verify
