For such "mini" modules, I created a section of the snippets handbook a while back: http://drupal.org/node/70903 To me, it's not worth cluttering the download page and maintaining something that's only a few lines of code. However, they are about as useful as a page snippet and can provide a basis for others to customize. -Peter On 6/5/07, Walt Daniels <wdlists@optonline.net> wrote:
Yes, good idea. Devel is dangerous in the wrong hands. Clearing the cache is harmless (but may impact performance for a bit). Of course you can do it with phpmyadmin but that is also dangerous in unskilled hands.

Hi! I found a recent need to be able to force clear the caches, but didn't want to install devel.module. I created a small module that just provides a menu item for clearing caches. (The scenario is that I have a page which is generated by the php filter; it wasn't being updated for anonymous users due to caching.)
Is this something that other people would find useful? I would probably have the menu item be optional and use hook_form_alter to put a button on the performance settings page.
If others are interested, I'll create a project on drupal.org and release it, but I wasn't certain if something already did this, or if people felt it just wasn't worth bothering with.
Thanks, Ricky
