Menu and caching

[tohtori]

Hey!

I have a problem with the menubar. Since I have a chat button which then indicates the amount of people in chat. And then I use caching in the forum. How may I substitute the menu from being cached.

Probably it has to do something with the following code from Subs.php:

Code Select Expand

$cacheTime = $modSettings['lastActive'] * 60;

// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
if (($buttonData = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'], $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])
{
$buttons = array(

But how I could manage to force it to always regenerate the menus?

Thanks for answers!

Replace the first line of code with this:

Code Select Expand

$cacheTime = time();

That will trick SMF into thinking that the settings have been updated since the data was last cached, causing it to always re-load the info.

Thank you. That made the trick
