- Build: staging
- # 33842
Steps to reproduce the issue
- When you disable caching in Joomla configuration the fields cachetime and cache_path will be hidden by showon events.
Expected result
- Never hidden because are used by the Cache class used e.g. by plg_system_cache and lots of 3rd extensions and codes taht use these basic settings.
Additional comments
- It happened intentionally that these fields are not hidden. There were already discussions in the past.

Really? You want me to look for old issues to prove an obvious issue? I know this change was supposed to be made in Joomla 3 and was NOT merged. Who knows when. Or maybe it was a feature request...
These settings are not only used for the System Cache in Global Configuration. Maybe we should think about a clearer separation of 1) GLOBAL cache settings and 2) "Sytem Cache" settings. We should reorder them and separate them by a divider or whatever.
Maybe a clearer description that these settings are (sometimes) two pairs of boots.
...if you really think there must be hidden something. I don't know if this issue is relevant for other hidden elements, too.
It also seems cache_path is not correctly implemented in places like action logs and log rotation, which, if $clientid (I.e administrator) then the code ASSUMES a hard coded /administrator/cache folder to use rather than any user specified cache_path

[edit] actually looking at #33777 I dont think this one was my fault, or @brianteeman 's PR that broke it - phew :)
