Since I already have some responses on this post, I’m going to add one more question that falls in line with the previous ones. Because I have to call the snippet cached, changes to the DB table aren’t showing up unless I clear the site cache. I’ve figured out how to do this automatically in my snippet, like so:
function clearCache() {
include_once "manager/processors/cache_sync.class.processor.php";
$sync = new synccache();
$sync->setCachepath("assets/cache/");
$sync->setReport(false);
$sync->emptyCache();
}
clearCache($sync);
However, I don’t want this to fire all the time -- only when the placeholder is present on the page. Can I check this somehow and write it into an if statement? I thought the getPlaceholder API function would work, but it doesn’t do quite what I thought it did.

It still only works if I call the snippet cached at the top of page, and I still can’t explain the "&" issue in Rich Text TVs, but this should get the job done. Thanks for the help, everyone! If this proves useful for anyone else down the road, please let me know!
