[development] development Digest, Vol 96, Issue 22

[Fredrik Sandve Kilander]

Ah, what a slap-in-the-forhead-moment :) Thank you.

On a side note, and in regards to my original secon question about best practice:
The '#cache' property in the render array used for the block content is not necessary then, if I understand the mechanics correctly? This would only add a superfluous extra layer of caching?

> I think you may have been testing as user 1.  I started testing your problem and noticed the same thing and started debugging and then noticed this code:
> 
> function _block_get_cache_id($block) {
>   global $user;
> 
>   // User 1 being out of the regular 'roles define permissions' schema,
>   // it brings too many chances of having unwanted output get in the cache
>   // and later be served to other users. We therefore exclude user 1 from
>   // block caching.
> 
> My testing (after I logged in as a different user) did show caching work correctly, at least in casual testing.
> 
> As a result of your note I've added a timestamp into one of the blocks provided by the Block Example module, part of the Examples project (http://drupal.org/project/examples) so that one can easily explore whether caching is happening or not. When http://drupal.org/node/995316 goes in (maybe tonight) it will make an easier way to explore block caching.
