Since the shortcut has no time settings, the default lifetime of **86400 seconds (24 hours)** is used — instead of the remaining time until the next visibility change of the referenced target element. This affects TYPO3's page cache in general: pages are served from cache even after a scheduled visibility change of a referenced element should have taken effect. Any caching layer built on top — such as staticfilecache — inherits the same incorrect lifetime and compounds the problem further. ### The Solution [](#the-solution) The extension listens to TYPO3's `ModifyCacheLifetimeForPageEvent` PSR-14 event. For each page render, it: 1. Queries all `CType = shortcut` content elements on the current page 2. Parses their `records` field to find the referenced `tt_content` UIDs 3. Reads the `starttime` and `endtime` of those referenced records 4. Reduces the page cache lifetime to match the next scheduled visibility change Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer req in2code/in2shortcutcache ``` No further configuration is required. The extension registers its event listener automatically via `Configuration/Services.yaml`. Supported formats for the `records` field ----------------------------------------- [](#supported-formats-for-the-records-field) The `tt_content.records` field (used by `CType = shortcut`) can contain UIDs in different formats. All of the following are handled correctly: FormatExampleHandlingPlain integer UIDs`123,456`Resolved as `tt_content` UIDsTable-prefixed UIDs`tt_content_123,tt_content_456`Prefix stripped, resolved as `tt_content` UIDsMixed with other tables`pages_123,tt_content_234`Non-`tt_content` entries are ignoredScope ----- [](#scope) The following fields of the referenced `tt_content` records are considered: SourceFieldsConditionTYPO3 core`starttime`, `endtime` (Unix timestamps)Alwaysin2frequently`tx_in2frequently_starttime`, `tx_in2frequently_endtime` (cron expressions)Only if `in2code/in2frequently` is installed and `tx_in2frequently_active = 1`Support for `in2frequently` is optional. If the package is not installed, the behaviour is identical to before. No configuration is required — the integration is activated automatically once `in2code/in2frequently` is present. The fix applies to direct shortcut references. Nested shortcuts (a shortcut referencing another shortcut that in turn references a time-controlled element) are currently not resolved transitively. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The extension can be configured via the TYPO3 Extension Manager or `LocalConfiguration.php` under the key `in2shortcutcache`. OptionTypeDefaultDescription`enableDataHandlerCacheFlush`bool`true`When enabled, the page cache for all pages containing shortcut elements that reference a just-saved or deleted `tt_content` record is flushed immediately via the DataHandler hook. Disable this on large installations if the flush causes unwanted performance impact during backend saves.Changelog --------- [](#changelog) VersionDateStateDescription1.0.02026-04-13TaskInitial release ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance81 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity46 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
