Cache block problem

Tuesday 10 March 2009 8:39:13 am

Afternoon:

I have a script that pulls down an XML feed, formats it, and saves it as a .tpl file. I include that .tpl in another .tpl file. I want that file to be refreshed every two hours. However, its being cached along with everything else. I need help debugging. Think of the structure like this:

script.php -writes-> a.tpl

pagelayout.tpl -includes-> main_area.tpl -calls-> b.tpl -includes-> a.tpl

To include a.tpl, I'm using

{cache-block scope=global expiry=7200}
	{include uri="design:parts/a.tpl"}
{/cache-block}

However, this is not working, the file does not get refreshed. What is wrong with this cache block definition? Where else should I be looking for the caching?

Thank you, Tero, that was indeed the problem (the view cache, the scope was already out.)

I used the following code to disable view caching, btw, is it correct?

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

Thanks! Looking into it more.
