config.cache_clearAtMidnight = 1 in condition - typo3

For some pages with the event list plugin from EXT:cal the cache should be deleted every midnight. I did this typoscript code in template file:
[globalVar = TSFE:id=4010, TSFE:id=3749, TSFE:id=5217, TSFE:id=4123]
config.cache_clearAtMidnight = 1
[GLOBAL]
Unfortunely this does not work in TYPO3 CMS 7.6.19. How can I delete cache at midnight for some pages?

"Clear at midnight" means that upon writing the page cache entry, the timeout is set to seconds-until-midnight (typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/Controller/TypoScriptFrontendController.php get_cache_timeout()).
Maybe you just have to clear the frontend cache.
Btw, the TypoScript condition is ok but could be made much shorter.
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#id45

Adapt your TS condition according to TS reference https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#id45
[globalVar = TSFE:id = 4010|3749|5217|4123]
config.cache_clearAtMidnight = 1
[GLOBAL]
This will match, if the page-id is equal to either 4010, 3749, 5217 or 4123.

On my page config.cache_period = 604800 is set. In this case the condition content has to be expanded:
[globalVar = TSFE:id = 4010|3749|5217|4123|1861|1495|221|1372|3142|3994|4390]
config.cache_period = 86400
config.cache_clearAtMidnight = 1
[GLOBAL]
I report this as a core bug: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/82380

How to use Typoscript conditions for page uid?

How do I use conditions to put different headerdata on the home page and 3 other pages using typoscript?
I have tried this:
page {
[treeLevel = 0]
headerData.20.value = Home Page
[END]
[page|uid = 1]
headerData.20.value = Page 1
[END]
[page|uid = 2]
headerData.20.value = Page 2
[END]
[page|uid = 3]
headerData.20.value = Page 3
[END]
}
But the home page outputs Page 3
I have also tried [globalVar = TSFE:id = X] with the same result.
And the object Browser says [ is an invalid character?
According to documentation (thanks to #BerndWilkeπφ for reminding), TypoScript conditions must be placed on top level of your TS (outside of any other structures).
Not in any cObject like page, neither within other conditions.
I realised the problem is because I nested the conditions inside page.
After taking them out it all works fine.

Set l10n_mode of field based on condition (CType / Layout / PageTree)

Is it possible to change the l10n_mode of a field (e.g. assets) based on the CType, layout or PageTree?
Use case:
Default l10n_mode of assets is 'exclude' (set by a site package extension)
For a specific CType it's necessary to change the assets field in translations (to allow translation of captions)
In TYPO3 7.6 the following was possible:
[PIDinRootline = 173]
config.sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank = tt_content:assets
[end]
EDIT
sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank
was removed in TYPO3 8.7, so this is not possible anymore. Breaking Change
In TYPO3 8.7 you can use below typoscript condition.
For Page Layout.
[page|layout = 1]
config.sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank = tt_content:assets
[end]
For pageTree.
[treeLevel = levelnumber, levelnumber, ...]
config.sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank = tt_content:assets
[end]
For Ctype
[page|field = value]
config.sys_language_softMergeIfNotBlank = tt_content:assets
[end]

Set different language overlay settings for specific records in TYPO3

With these TypoScript settings you can set the global language handling:
config.sys_language_mode = strict
config.sys_language_overlay = hideNonTranslated
Now, I want some records (from my own extension) to behave different, I need sys_language_mode=content_fallback and sys_language_overlay=0.
Is there a possibility to set a different language handling for specific records or extensions?
You can try to config it inside a condition.
[globalVar = GP:tx_myext_pi1|showUid > 0]
config.sys_language_mode = content_fallback
config.sys_language_overlay = 0
[GLOBAL]
See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/8.7/Conditions/Reference/Index.html#globalvar
You can Try below typoscript condition for specific plugin of your custom extension.
[globalVar = TCEFORM.tt_content.layout = 1] // Here you can select specific layout
config.sys_language_mode = content_fallback
config.sys_language_overlay = 0
[global]
Also You need to select specific layout(in content appearance Tab) for this plugin.

use typoscript variable in condition

Is it possible to use variables defined in TypoScript in TypoScript conditions?
For example if I define a variable like this:
my_var = 10
Can I create a condition in typoscript that checks if my_var equals 10?
I imagine something like this:
my_var = 10
[my_var = 10]
# do something
[else]
# do something else
[end]
The reason why I need this is the lack of nested conditions. If what I'm asking for is possible, I can do something like this to overcome this limitation:
[globalVar=TSFE:id=1]
# render special layout for page 1
[else]
normal_layout = 1
[end]
[normal_layout = 1] && [globalVar=TSFE:page|layout=1]
# render normal layout 1
[end]
[normal_layout = 1] && [globalVar=TSFE:page|layout=2]
# render normal layout 2
[end]
Another usecase would be to check for the existence of a variable, for example if page was already defined. Example:
[globalVar=TSFE:id=1]
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = hello page 1!
[end]
[!page]
page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = hello world!
[end]
I'm surprised that the docs don't answer this already :S
edit
I've tried Andreas Ottos solution, but it still does not seem to work. Here's my example code:
lib.content = TEXT
lib.content.value = this text should not get displayed
[globalVar=TSFE:id=1]
lib.content = TEXT
lib.content.value = this is page 1
[else]
normal_layout = 1
[end]
[globalVar = LIT:1 = {$normal_layout}]
lib.content = TEXT
lib.content.value = this is any other page
[end]
page = PAGE
page.10 < lib.content
In theory, this should render 'this is page 1' for page 1 and 'this is any other page' for any other page. But while page 1 gets rendered correctly, this is not the case for the other pages. They get rendered with 'this text should not get displayed'.
Any ideas? I'm using version 7.6. Is that maybe the problem?
EDIT: For the first UseCase:
It is possible with a TypoScript "literal". See a small hint in the doc here.
And you have to separate the constants from the logic.
So in the constants you have to write:
[globalVar=TSFE:id=1]
normal_layout = 0
[else]
normal_layout = 1
[end]
And in the setups part you can use this variable:
[globalVar = LIT:0 = {$normal_layout}]
# render special layout for page 1
[end]
[globalVar = LIT:1 = {$normal_layout}] && [globalVar=TSFE:page|layout=1]
# render normal layout 1
[end]
[globalVar = LIT:1 = {$normal_layout}] && [globalVar=TSFE:page|layout=2]
# render normal layout 2
[end]
Your second usecase is not really clear but I would recommend to use a base definition of page which is overwritten in the specific cases.

change the form target in powermail 1.6.x with typoscript for a specific form

I have two forms on my page.
I want to change the target of a form with typoscript. The result should be two different "Thank You for contacting me" pages for two different forms on one site.
I've tried the following Typoscript
[globalVar = GP:tx_powermail_pi1|uid55 = 1]
plugin.tx_powermail_pi1.formaction.typolink.parameter = 299
[else]
plugin.tx_powermail_pi1.formaction.typolink.parameter = 258
[end]
In this case I've made a hidden field with the UID 55 and the value 1.
and the second try:
[globalVar = GP:tx_powermail_pi1|mailID < 1613]
plugin.tx_powermail_pi1.formaction.typolink.parameter = 299
[else]
plugin.tx_powermail_pi1.formaction.typolink.parameter = 258
[end]
In this case I simply check the mailID of the posted form (ID 1612 is form number 1 and ID 1618 is form number 2).
but it does not work. In both cases the target is the page with the id 258.
I've also tried the same with globalString.
Typo3 4.6.7 with powermail 1.6.10
If you just want different "Thank you" pages for both forms, then use "Auto-redirect after confirmation-page", which can be found in the plugin-settings (tab "Answer page") of your Powermail forms.
