Re: [development] Design Flaws in Drupal Caching System
In the upper left is a "What's on now" block. I created this by using in the block to display the correct info based on current time. But, when I turn on the cache, whatever show was on at the time the cache was turned on stays there forever.
Well, I think that the current implementation caches entire pages instead of objects within pages. Thus, it sounds like you want to avoid caching altogether. My beef is just that core doesn't have a maximum lifetime for cache items or a method for intelligently expiring cached items when they can programmatically be deemed stale. Even worse, the currently-released code doesn't even play nice with its own delete-everything-when-anything-changes policy, so a newbie admin could end up serving stale content to anonymous users for months at a time. ttyl -- Alex (Malex) Markley http://MalexMedia.Net/ "I may seem like a hard-boiled detective on the outside, but inside, I'm full of... organs."
