Question

Ist there a way to set the maximal cache time for a USER object? (not sure if its really called object..)

The only thing i found was COA_GO – which is COA with user defined cache time – but the update to the latest revision is about two years old, which makes me hope that there is a similar core feature which made it obsolete…
/optimism off
if its not possible at all an example of how to leverage Typo3’s internal cache would also solve most of my problems.
just had a look at class.t3lib_cache_manager.php, and… i don’t really get it… was expecting something similar to apc…

Thanks in advance for any hint or suggestion!

Take a look at the new cObj Cache (Forge) and the blog article explaining how it works.

It basically registers a new stdWrap property which can contain a lifetime:

5 = TEXT
5 {
    cache.key = mycurrenttimestamp
    cache.tags = tag_a,tag_b,tag_c
    cache.lifetime = 3600
    data = date : U
    strftime = %H:%M:%S
}
