[Typo3] How to access a module method via Typoscript

[Jochen Rieger]

Hi Rudi,

thanks for your ideas. A cron job wouldn't be that comfortable as I'm 
planning to release it as an official extension. Not everyone has access 
to cron jobs on his server.

The front end plugin is a nice idea. But I want to make sure, that 
everytime, someone hits a page (at least one with tt_news content on it) 
  the import should be triggered first.

So... it's hard then to put an additional import FE plugin on every page 
(that also contains a tt_news plug).

Maybe a hook in tt_news would do it then!? That way it would be sure 
that the import is always triggered someone visits a tt_news page... so 
the content would always be up to date.

Maybe there is another way concerning typoscript USER object that will
be called everytime someone hits a page then!?

Thanks and greets,
Jochen
