I have been struggling with USER and USER\_INT for quite a while now. At first I thought my problem was related to TemplaVoila, but in the end I reverted to a clean installation of TYPO3 version 4.5.40, and the problem persists.

To test it I have made a new installation of version 4.5.40.  

My template setup looks like this:

```
includeLibs.beechgroveTest = fileadmin/php/test.php

page = PAGE
page {
  10 = USER
  10 {
    userFunc = getBeechgroveTest
  }
}

```

In fileadmin/php/test.php I have this code:

```
<?php

function getBeechgroveTest($content, $conf) {
  return "func";
}

echo "Load: ";

?>

```

In the page module I have added a shortcut to a standard page. the standard page has no content elements.  

Apart from that no changes have been made since the install.

When I load the website I see the text 'Load: '.  

If I reload the website then the text disappears.  

If I change USER to USER\_INT the text remains, when I reload the website.  

This tells me that USER and USER\_INT is being recognized, but userFunc seems to be ignored.

I made the same test with a clean install of version 6.2.13.  

But here I get the text 'Load: func'.  

And when I reload it changes to 'func'.
If I use USER\_INT the text 'Load: func' remains, when I reload.

In other words with version 6.2 it works as expected, but not in version 4.5. All the information I have been able to find, indicates that it should work in 4.5, so what am I missing?  

Is there some configuration that needs to be done in order to enable userFunc in 4.5?
