Yes, I’m for not using the [!!] idea.
The developer is the one who should determine the caching state of the snippet. Snippets such as menu, <form>s and others will not function properly if they are cached. The solution to this problem is to either disable page caching or use [!!] which is not a good idea (due to limited knowledge) in some cases.
Other tags such as placeholders and system settings needs to also be addressed.
Technically, the whole discussion is well beyond my reach... but I can tell you how this was implemented in Textpattern, or more precisely with a plugin called
zem_cache.
I don’t know the inner workings, but as a designer you just decide what part of your template you want cached and which part you don’t want cached : you juste wrap the part of the page you want to cache with a <txp:zem_cache> tag
This is truly powerful, and maybe browsing through the plugin’s code could help you there, I don’t know if this is a dumb idea but I thought I’d share...
FYI : Textpattern’s plugins are base64 encoded.

Hi David,
If I remember correctly we that was something that was on the to-do list. I think it was called Hotspots or non-cache block, can’t remember.
Thanks for the information. I think this will certainly help to solve some of the problems that now exists.
Ooops, still quite a newbie around here, didn’t know there was something similar planned
Anyway, this is good news, I find this very pratical in every day design

Yeah, It’s also good to post your ideas and these can help in many many ways.
