if you’re about to work with the root page of some TYPO3 installation and, let’s say you have static_tables installed, you’re gonna get a long list of countries, markets and currencies in the root list which is fully loaded, everytime you want to administrate a backend user or a file mount – since these items are listed by default on the root page. i kinda got used to this.
but since this sucks a lot of time up in your backend session depending on server load and bandwidth, this one-liner found on the english TYPO3 mailing list can tweak your backend experience for the root page. the attempt of putting the line like “mod.web_list.static_template.hideTable = 1” into a pageTS will not work because the root page seems to have no pageTS at all.
instead, put this in the userTS of your be account or a user group you’re member of:
mod.web_list.hideTables=static_countries,static_country_zones,static_currencies,static_languages,static_territories,static_taxes,static_markets mod.web_list.hideTables=static_template
the tables you specify here will be gone on every page. in the case of static_* tables, they’re just to listed on the root page, anyway. so, listing your root page will speed up a lot!
