I have this in a template

			
{'http://www.domain.net/file.php'|file_get_contents}

now file.php generates %d-%m-%Y.txt (30-11-2005.txt)

my problem is that the cache for it lives to long.
so I made a chage in the pemplate to:

			{cache-block expiry='0'}
{'http://www.domain.net/file.php'|file_get_contents}
{/cache-block}

but it seems I'm not dooing it right. if I delete the file of the day. I still get the contents without the file.

Can someone explaing how i can set the expiry ofor this code/content?

Hi risto, you could try:

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}
{'http://www.domain.net/file.php\'|file_get_contents}

I'm not sure if this works for external information but if you place:

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}

at the top of a template the system won't cache the page. Might help?

Cheers!
