can't disable caching for specific inner block

Hi,
I have a snippet which is called like this :

[[!loadTemplate? &template=`text`]]

In snippet I do this:
I'm trying to cache a news page depending on mobile/desktop device.

//if(!$deviceType) $deviceType = 'desktop';
$cacheManager = $modx->getCacheManager();
$lifetime = 3600*24*7; // in seconds


require_once 'core/components/sanz/Mobile_Detect.php';
$detect = new Mobile_Detect;
if ( $detect->isMobile() || $_GET['browser'] == 'mobile') {
    $deviceType = 'mobile';
} else if( $detect->isTablet() ){
    $deviceType = 'mobile';
} else {
    $deviceType = 'desktop';
}

$key = sha1(json_encode(array( $_GET,
    $deviceType 
    ,$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] 
)));
if (!$resu = $cacheManager->get($key)) {
    $resu = $modx->parseChunk('tpl_'.$template.'--'.$deviceType);
    $resu.='<!--loadTemplate/'.time().'/'.$key.'-->';
    
    $cacheManager->set($key ,
        $resu,
        $lifetime
    );
} 

return $resu.'<!--loadTemplate'.$deviceType.'-->';

It works. But down the hierarchy of chunks there is one thing I do not need to cache - block showing visitor's geoposition.
I print it using two snippets :

{$_modx->runSnippet('!renderGeoCategoryNews', ['category'=> $_modx->runSnippet('!getCurrentLocation') ])}

Unfortunately,

time()

inside renderGeoCategoryNews() caches and does not change.
Why? [ed. note: iampublic last edited this post 7 years, 1 month ago.]
