Disable caching on module/view level?

Sunday 04 November 2007 3:13:28 am

I've written some custom modules in my own extension which has a search form and a result when you call it. I set the state of the search form dynamically based on some input parameters from the query string (GET). The problem is that when I have enabled ViewCaching and TemplateCache (I'm not 100% sure what's the difference) it won't output the new template I've generated - it keep loading the previous template from the cache (the initial state of the form).

So the question is: Is it possible to have TemplateCache and ViewCaching enabled for the whole site, but filter out the dynamic parts and say: "Please do not cache these views"?

My typical production settings related to caching:

[ContentSettings]
ViewCaching=enabled
StaticCache=disabled

[DebugSettings]
DebugOutput=disabled
DebugRedirection=disabled

[TemplateSettings]
Debug=disabled
ShowXHTMLCode=disabled
ShowUsedTemplates=disabled
TemplateCompile=enabled
TemplateCache=enabled

Thanks for explaining the difference :)

I've tested a bit more now and enabling ViewCaching works fine. I use {cache-block} around the top menu and a site map at the bottom in pagelayout.tpl, while the {$module_result.content} do not use the cache-block mechanism.

However I have to set TemplateCache=disabled in order to get the result I want. My module script looks like this:

<?php
// 1. do stuff

// 2. setting some template variables
$tpl->setVariable('result', $result);
$tpl->setVariable('access_type', $GLOBALS['eZCurrentAccess']);

// 3. prepare result
$Result = array();
$Result['content'] = $tpl->fetch('design:mymodule/search_result.tpl');
?>

as described in this tutorial: http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/development/extensions/module/module_tutorial_part_1.

$result contains the correct new values, but those values is not set in $tpl->fetch() - the template remains in the previous state (when TemplateCache=enabled). Any ideas?
