Cache-block and ezhttp get variables problem

Thursday 29 November 2007 12:47:41 am

I have a problem with a cache-block and ezhttp variables.
I have a tamplate where I'm using these ezhttp get variables (with my form) and the teplate has view cache disabled.

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

Everything works ok but when I'm displaing the page with my form and variables, everytime I have 23 sql queries. I would

like to have less so I used the cache-block with array keys as my http get variable. Unfortunately cache-block doesn't

work as I expected.

{cache-block key=array($offest, $get1, $get2, $get3, $get4 )}
... form and results ...
{/cache-block}

Once the viewed page has been displayed, I keep geeting the same result, even if the cache keys ($get1, $get2 etc...) change. Just as if they were not used.

Is it possible to use cache-block with that (eZ 3.10.0)?

personnaly I would drop the idea of using that line altogether:
{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}

This will simply remove the cache on your page, and will really require far too much processing power on your servers. and then re-include the cache manually, for a set of area.

You would be better off, converting your parameters into view_parameters if you can:

Or create a module view extension to collect the information from your form. That way you can collect the information in the script of the page, and cache the result page.

If you really want to use cache blocks, you would be better of using it the other way round. use a cache-block to unset the cache for one area, not for the entire page and then ressetting it for every part.
