Plugin Caching

[echo@]

Im working on a plugin that would randomly display links and images from a control file in the index.html but I think indexu is caching the script ?

So whatever the plugin randomly displays 1st, stays untill you either

• disable / enable the plugin
• clear the template cache

Does anyone know a bit more about the plugin system and why it might do this?

Dont we have the ability to set the cache time in the Admin section??? Is it possible to just disable the caching?

I will look at the pm you sent me tomorrow when I get off work. Until then, I might be able to help you with what I think you are trying to do. There may be a better way of doing it and I will look into that later, for now this might help.

In smarty you can force the script to recompile a single html file each time it's called.

<?php
// clear a specific compiled template
$smarty->clear_compiled_tpl("index.html");
?>

The plugin is cached to lower CPU cycles from having to repeat the same task over and over.
