# TYPO3 FAQ - Universitätsrechenzentrum

This source provides a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) guide for editors using the TYPO3 content management system at the Universität Greifswald. It covers essential operational aspects including access requests, permission management, cache handling, and the behavior of "Speaking URLs."

## Access and Permissions

### Backend Access
- **Initial Access**: Users must request the specific resource **"Zugriff auf das TYPO3-Backend"** via the [[ums]] using their [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]].

### Page-Level Permissions
- **Management**: Once backend access is granted, specific permissions to edit individual pages are managed by the **Webmasters** (contact: `webmaster@uni-greifswald.de`). 
- **Process**: Users do not need to request further resources via UMS for additional pages; they should contact the Webmasters directly.
- **Request Requirements**: When requesting these permissions, users should provide the **PID (Page ID)** or the full URL of the target page.

## Content Management and Caching

### Server-side Cache
- **Function**: TYPO3 uses a server-side cache to reduce server load, which can cause a delay between backend edits and frontend visibility.
- **Manual Cache Clearing**: To resolve discrepancies between the backend and frontend and force updates to appear "live," users can clear the server-side cache in the **Web > Page** module by clicking the **"lightning bolt" symbol** (located at the top right of the content area).

## Speaking URLs (Sprechende URLs)

### URL Conflicts
- **Cause**: If a new page has the same title as an old one, conflicts in the "speaking URL" mapping may occur.
- **Recommended Resolution**:
    1. Rename old page.
    2. Deactivate old page.
    3. Create new page.
    4. Clear the cache in the "Sprechende URLs" module for both pages.

### URL Persistence and Cache
- **Persistence**: When pages are moved or renamed in the page tree, the old "Speaking Path" remains active for **30 days** by default.
- **Manual Override**: This 30-day persistence can be overridden by clearing the **"Path Cache" (Pfadcache)** and **"URL Cache" (URL-Cache)** within the "Sprechende URLs" backend module.

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
