Command to blat the cache #26

Closed kitsonk closed 12 years ago

kitsonk commented 12 years ago

There should be something that can be run to blat the cache when "refreshing" the api-viewer.

wkeese commented 12 years ago

@ttrenka said there was already a command but I don't remember what it is.

Although you can avoid the problem while testing by not having a writable cache directory.

ttrenka commented 12 years ago

Yeah, there's two things built in:

  1. add ?clearcache=true to the URL to do it from the browser.
  2. Enable/disable the cache through the config.php file.
ttrenka commented 12 years ago

I should add that the variable in question in config.php is $use_cache; set it to false if you want pages generated each time it gets hit.

@kitsonk, is there any point to 5d80b8b when users can already clear the cache through the browser, via ?clearcache=true ?

I don't know, maybe a script is better so that it can only be run by someone w/access to the server.

kitsonk commented 12 years ago

I didn't realise both things where there. I will remove my stuff.

Also my blatting the cache, at the moment, is only UNIX like.

ttrenka commented 12 years ago

If it helps, when I was working on the viewer I always set $use_cache to false, although in general I did that in conjunction with re-parsing source code (i.e. changes in the documentation itself, not the viewer).
