[Typo3-dev] TS: Using values returned by a userFunction

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi Nicolas,

IMHO your current solution conflicts with TYPO3s caching mechanisms.

plugin.tt_news is an USER object (at least for the more current versions of
tt_content) so it's "executed" before the whole page is cached. USER_INT
objects, like your temp.catuid aren't cached and instead executed just
before delivering the HTML. So your "< temp.catuid" doesn't work on an USER
object. (see details on [1])

As I don't know what your userFunc does I suggest two possible solutions.
The first one is a little bit faster but it might cause other cache
problems. So you might use the second suggestion if you get wrong content.

1)
make temp.catuid an USER object:
change
temp.catuid = USER_INT
to
temp.catuid = USER

2)
make seccion.newsLatest an USER_INT object:
seccion.newsLatest < plugin.tt_news
seccion.newsLatest = USER_INT
seccion.newsLatest {
...
}

Good luck
Thorsten
