How to disable caching for a given template

Saturday 12 January 2008 4:28:26 pm

I am working on an Exponential-based site which has caching disabled. We are running into issues where certain templates are still being cached and we want to make sure, 100%, that every time you view a certain template, it displays current data. I understand that even if you have caching disabled, Exponential will still cache certain views, roles, sessions, etc.

I ran across an article that explains how to turn off caching on the template level (URL below) and I was wondering if this solution would solve my caching problem.

My solution is to put the following piece of code in the first line of a given template we do not want cached (even if it is being included in another template).

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}

Will this work as expected? Thanks in advance!
