How to cache documents?

I’m new to MODx... so please be understanding if this is a dumb question .

I’ve marked my documents as cacheable, but they all say "This document has not (yet) been cached." Is there something I need to do in order to cache documents?

Thanks.

It takes one page load for the document to cache. Once the page has been requested, MODx will cache the page so long as assets/cache is writeable.

Ok, I’ve found a solution to my problem, although it’s a hack. If I edit siteCache.idx.php and delete the content (except for the first 100 lines or so, which are page definitions), pages become cached (I can see files being added to assets/cache). However, once I clear the cache through the MODx admin panel, all the content comes back into siteCache.idx.php. (The content appears to be stuff for snippets that I don’t use anyways) but once this happens, none of my pages are cached anymore.

Is the "siteCache" file somehow keeping my pages from being cached? Is this a bug, or am I supposed to do something else to enable caching?

I’m using MODx 0.9.5, PHP 5, and MySQL 14.12.

Do not edit the siteCache or .idx files or you’re asking for problems most likely. I suspect you have the template switcher plugin installed. Delete it.

Thanks... that did the trick! I restored my siteCache file from a backup and deleted the template switcher plugin. Pages are being cached now. Thanks!

good info, thanks.

[tt]siteCache.idx.php[/tt] is recreated every time cache is cleared, but editing it is a big no-no

Thanks too.
Removing this plugin was the trick.
Maybe it should be not included with the default ModX release, not to confuse beginners like me

Great job anyway.

Have a guess at what we’ve gone and done for the 0.9.6 release

You’re too quick
Is there a page where we can see the forecast improvements ? Can’t find anything else that the roadmap page... Anything more precise ?
