Introduction¶

Installation¶

Simple and easy to install (2 steps)

• Install the Extension via the Extension-Manager an let it create the required directory in typo3temp.
• If you wish use an URL translator like realURL or simulateStatic then enable the option "URL Translation Support". When you have _INT objects like COA_INT or similar on your pages and you want those pages also to get cached check the option "INT object support". WARNING: When this option get's enabled a large amount of disk- space get's used for every single cached page with _INT objects on it. The required amount is about 200-300 KB per page. So only enable this if you do not have _INT objects on all pages or do not have many pages. You can use the "saveSpace" option to reduce the required space by setting it to a value higher than 0 (but not bigger than 5). This will strip away unneeded data before saving. If your COA_INT objects do not work after increasing this value decrease it again. When setting it to 5 the objects will have about 80 KB.
• Finally backup your index.php in your typo3-web-root and copy over the index.php from the extension-directory over your "original" TYPO3 index.php. If you checked the option "URL Translation Support" and wish to use an URL translator like realURL or similar do not copy the file "index.php" but rather copy over "index_trans.php" and rename it to "index.php"

Notes¶

• You will need to be logged out of the TYPO3 backend. If you do have USER_INT (or other _INT TS cObjects) on your page it will also not get quick-cached (except if enabled).
• To remove the BE-cookie you can either do this manually using your browsers menus or simply log into and out of the TYPO3 backend (a login-timeout is not sufficient - in such a case the be-cookie stays set). CORRECTION: It seems as loggin out is also not sufficient - so if you have been logged in before (it seems even visiting the login page is enough to get a cookie :( ) and have a "be_typo_user" cookie set for the current domain: delete it.
• If you have pages without ANY condition you will also notice even more improvement in rendering time.
• When you use condition constructs like "[globalVar = TSFE:bla|whatever]" in your conditionts you should note that TSFE is not available. So those condition will always result as if they were 0. You should rather use "[globalVar = GP:id=123]" because the GP vars will be available. (Some TSFE variables like TSFE->fe_user->user['uid'], TSFE->loginUser, TSFE->id are execptionally available for more compatibility)

Known problems¶

Does not work with realURL or simulateStatic.

Improvements¶

Without any PHP Accelerator you should notice an improvement that your cached pages get delivered between 5 and 20 times faster than before (at least the reaction time is higher - how fast they can get delivered depends also on the internet-connection of your server).

Here are outputs of the apache2 benchmarking tool “ab2” with and without the patch.

Sponsoring¶

Money is rare in todays world – so if your company is happy to have enough of it and you find this (my) extensions useful feel free to transfer an amount which suits your taste to “ kraftb@kraftb.at ” via PayPal. Thanks for your support.

If you are a one-man freelancer show like me and have to keep track of finance yourself please do not send me your last bit of money ! I would feel bad accepting money from someone who pherhaps has even less than me. So this call is only directed to companies who are suited well enough. You can also add the sponsored money to your expenses for taxes cause I will properly pay income-taxes for the received money. So it would again be no clever idea to sponsor money for which you already paid those taxes.

Companies which have sponsored money can get listed on my website including or excluding the amount of sponsored money completely as they like. You can also contact the above email addres if you require a bill.
