Smart View Cache mechanism

Wednesday 29 August 2007 11:14:34 am

Viewcache does not clear cache of children.
But it should be possible to specify that, so create a enhancement issue for adding ClearCacheMethod[]=children, this should of course just clear direct children and not the whole subtree.

In your case you might want to set cache_ttl in your product templates to clear cache every hour or something.

Hello Laurent

I think André, was asking you to please create a new enhancement issue using eZ's issue tracking system, http://issues.ez.no/ProjectSummary.php?ProjectId=3

Cheers,
Heath

Thanks to the Nabuchodonosor crew for pointing me the direction.
But it doens't seems to be so easy.

Hi Bruce,

So here is the company.tpl

{def $currentimestamp = currentdate()
     $debuttimestamp  = $node.object.data_map.debut_abonnement.data_int
	 $fintimestamp    = $node.object.data_map.fin_abonnement.data_int
	 $approbation     = $node.object.data_map.approbation.data_int
	 $children        = fetch('content','list',hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
						sort_by, $node.sort_array ) )
     $children_count = $children|count()}
	 
	<div class="content-view-full">
	<div class="class-entreprise">
	{if $approbation}

	<h1>{$node.data_map.societe.content|wash()}</h1>

	<div class="logo">

	{else}

		</div>
	{/if}
	
	{else}{* APPROBATION *}

	{/if}
    </div>
</div>

Tha's the

$fintimestamp = $node.object.data_map.fin_abonnement.data_int

I refer to while showing the children of the company node, like this in product.tpl:

{def $currentimestamp = currentdate()
     $objectimestamp  = $node.object.data_map.date_marche.data_int
	 $parentimestamp  = $node.parent.data_map.fin_abonnement.data_int
	 $email           = $node.contentobject_version_object.creator.data_map.compte_utilisateur.content.email}
	 
	<div class="content-view-full">
	<div class="class-produit">

	<h1>{$node.data_map.nom.content|wash()}</h1>
	{if gt($objectimestamp, sub($currentimestamp, 7776000))}
	<div class="new">
		<img src={"images/icon_nouveaute.gif"|ezdesign} height="11" width="48" title="Nouveauté" alt="Nouveauté" />
	</div>
	{/if}

	{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.image image_class=medium alignment=right}
	
	{if $node.data_map.marque.content}
		{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.marque}
	{/if}
	
	{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.presentation_produit}
	
	{if ge($parentimestamp,$currentimestamp)}
	
		{if $node.data_map.descriptif_detaille.content}
			{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.descriptif_detaille}
		{/if}
	
		{if $node.data_map.documentation.content}
			{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.documentation}
		{/if}
	
	<div class="break"></div>
	
	<form method="get" action="/contact">
		<input type="hidden" name="produit" value="{$node.data_map.nom.content}" />
		<input type="hidden" name="email" value="{$email}" />
		<input type="image" class="btn-info-produit" src={"1x1.gif"|ezimage} />
	</form>
		
	{/if}

	
	<div class="break"></div>

		<div class="attribute-tipafriend">
			<p>
				<a href={concat('/content/tipafriend/',$node.node_id)|ezurl}>{"Tip a friend"|i18n("design/base")}</a>
			</p>
		</div>


    </div>
</div>

In that template :

$parentimestamp = $node.parent.data_map.fin_abonnement.data_int

{if ge($parentimestamp,$currentimestamp)}...{/if}

I know this kind of comparison is a bit out of the normal content view.

Is that clear enough?

yes Bruce,

I think too that the cache-block is the best solution, but I'm not really a cache-block killer and I know a bad templating can be a real performance disaster.

What I know is that we can use the ttl for the content view cache.
So if I follow your hint, it should be first like this (in product.tpl) :

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

...and then something more?

{cache-block subtree_expiry=$node.parent.node_id}
my product template code.
{/cache-block}

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

André,

Fine tunning :

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

{def $parentimestamp  = $node.parent.data_map.fin_abonnement.data_int}
{cache-block keys=$parentimestamp subtree_expiry=concat('content/view/full/', $node.node_id )}
{def $currentimestamp = currentdate()
	 $objectimestamp  = $node.object.data_map.date_marche.data_int
	 $email           = $node.contentobject_version_object.creator.data_map.compte_utilisateur.content.email}
	 
.... Additionnal template code here ....

{/cache-block}

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block} is necessary first to kill the ttl ?

I'm coming back on André suggestion.

I think that the Smart cache clear part of the code should be extended by user code (I mean in an extension surdir for example).

I had a similar problem where cache-block can't help me (I wanted to invalidate cache of objects related to objects related to my content... ok, it seems stupid, but in my context, it was necessary). Moreover, keeping content view cache is better to keep correct performance (cache-block use suppose node view template execution every time you call the page).

Do you think it's a stupid idea, or shall I create an enhancement request in this way ?

Hi Bruce,

My objects are related to an object related to the one I publish.

I can't deal with such cache invalidations with neither smart cache clear nor cache-block tags.

Regards
Vince
