If i got it right, it’s great .
it means that now we can set when the Cache Expires on every element we use on modx, in different from the Cache available now.

have i understood it correctly?


if it’s possible to have an explanation of usage (an example/scenario) of how (get)cache works, it would be awesome.
thanks

You have. You can have getCache cache the output of any Element in MODx (Chunk, Snippet, Template Variable) for a certain amount of time, complementing the partial-page cache which can remain while only the Element you have called with getCache gets updated periodically.

There is a simple example using the getResources snippet here, and I will add more today.

Hi OpenGeek thanks for this awesome extension.

I am following along with the ’creating a blog in modx revolution’ -> http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Creating+a+Blog+in+MODx+Revolution

Is there any way to use getCache with:


It seems to cache the page, but the navigation (1,2,3, next) disappears.

Is there a way to use getCache with snippets that are acting as a wrapper for other snippets?

Thanks again for this great extension!!

getPage does it’s own caching—do not use getCache with getPage. And there is no page navigation because you are not using getPage there.

Hello, Jason,

where can i read more about getCache and more examples?

Documentation is at https://github.com/opengeek/getCache/wiki and the best examples atm are at http://www.jasoncoward.com/technology/2010/10/simple-content-caching-with-getcache.html — I’ll try and find some time soon to add more examples to the documentation soon.

can i use getCache with Wayfinder?

Sure, I suppose you could, though I don’t see any reason to ever have Wayfinder uncached (unless you are showing personalized menus, then you never want it cached). If you edit a Resource, the cache is refreshed, so all your Wayfinder calls are in turn refreshed.
