TYPO3 Core

Hi Mick,
could you please provide a short information on how to test this issue? I don't think that it would be easy to write unit tests in this scenario... Thanks in advance!

How to reprocue it: ===============
- Use current linkhandler version from TER http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/linkhandler/current/
1) Go to your tt_content element with the uid XY and create a link to an record using the linkhandler extension (e.q. record:tt_news:10)
2) Open you bash and run "time php -d memory_limit=512M typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh lowlevel_refindex -e"
3) Open the info dialog on the tt_content element with the uid XY where you created the linkhandler link. There you can see the link entry as type "_STRING", this means that no valid relation from the record to the tt_news record exist in the table sys_refindex.

After applying the patch or just installing the latest linkhandler from trunk https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Extensions/linkhandler/trunk/ (the linkhandler provide a XCLASS to add the hooks).

1) Run the "lowlevel_refindex " again and refresh the info dialog. Now you can see that there a valid reference to the tt_news record with the uid 10 exists.
2) Go to the tt_news record with the uid 10 open the info dialog of that record and you should see the back reference to the tt_news record XY who linked te the this record.

=======================================

If you need more details just add me a note.

Thanks,
Mick

Yes it is still an issue. And related to #46140 - should imo be solved with #46140.

Which TYPO3 CMS version did you test?

There is currently no proper test setup, since the linkhandler extension is afaik not compatble with current versions. This extension is hopefully meant to be integrated into the Core (#46140). Before this isn't the case, it is only testable with 4.5 using the linkhandler from Ext Manager.
So I'd suggest to leave this one here open until #46140 is solved to not forget compatiblity with the Reference Index.

Example implementation for testing can be found here:
