[geeklog-devel] Geeklog Caching

[Tom]

For all,

Here is a quick rundown of the basics of caching in Geeklog. There is 3 main things we cache. 

The template cache just caches the template files of a theme. It does all the preprocessing and saves it to a file. 

The information of a story, article, block can also be cached. These are saved in a separate file and are recreated based on the cache time saved with each item or if the item is updated in the editor. The cache time you use is based on your site and what information you have in say your story. If you have an autotag in the story that pulls information from somewhere you may want to have a short cache time  or no cache at all. Some items of a story are not cached at all. This would include story views. There can also be several versions of an item cached. Anonymous users have their own cached version and each user has their own cached version (basically). These cached files are also based on the user language selected and the theme selected.

We also cache a few process intensive items like the topic tree and the story counts for these topics. These get recreated every time a story gets added, deleted or updated (which is much better than for every single page load). This is also cached based on user security since some users may have access to stories that others do not.

Plugins also can hook into the api and use caching as well if the developer wants (see the staticpage plugin).

Hi,

Geeklog.fr was updated from Geeklog 1.8.2 to Geelklog 2.1 few days ago (apache server). I noticed a speed increase for page loading but no missing stories.

But caching might create an issue: when I modify a static page or an article the page displayed after the save is the old version. I need to reload the page to update it in the screen. This was not the case before (Geeklog 1.8.2). Same thing when I edit the page or the story once more, the content in the editor and the token are the old ones. I also need to reload the page here.

Can someone else enable template caching on one of their more busy Geeklog sites and let me know if the missing of stories happens (or doesn't) to them in 2 weeks? Also let us know what web server software you are using.
