Can you totally disable the cache? (for development)

See topic. Every time I update my included snippet code I have to manually clear the cache and that’s annoying.

Obviously I could make it an uncached call but I’ll want the thing to be cached in the future and I don’t want to have to remember to change it later.

@evan: Though I do this for all snippets because I prefer my php code on the file system, and not cached in the siteCache file, you can simply change your snippet to a one line return include() that includes your snippet code from a regular php file. This is great for development, and for production, has the added benefit of reducing the siteCache file size and/or allowing code changes to be tracked in SVN.

In 0.9.7, there will be a new constant (MODX_CACHE_DISABLED) that can be used to disable all caching for such purposes, in addition to several new caching options in general.

I am using a plugin with the following code in it: I am pretty sure it came from the forums somewhere, but I can’t find the original right now. Make sure to let it trigger on the "OnLoadWebDocument" event. Just disable the plugin when you are done with developing.

Thanks, I don’t know why I didn’t think of this. I love elegantly simple solutions like this.

I feel like I’m still only scratching the surface of the plugin system’s potential.

Yeah it’s the Disable Cache plugin, bundled with MODx

Pretty handy
I think Susan wrote it, needed to have the TemplateSwitcher working...

Not that I recall, I just made sure my documents weren’t cached. But I don’t know who did it, either.

My mistake, thought it was you

Thanks Zi for setting the records right
