Workaround

Highlight something in order to disallow caching.

Discussion

This was intentionally removed by TW (commented out). Users misunderstood/misused that feature to reload the current page (esp. in theme modern, where it was named "Refresh" and even 1st action item).

If this gets re-added, it should be:

• implemented in modern and classic (and rsb) in the same way
  • classic does not have the edit bar, has it? So you cannot really do it in "the same way".
    • Classic can have the edit bar, which will simplify many things.
• be moved into the action dropdown menu
• named "invalidate cache" (not simply "refresh")

  • I don't like neither. Invalidate cache is too technical. But I cannot think of another more user-friendly alternative either :-/

Maybe "Recreate Cache" or "Rebuild Cache" is less technical. Anyway, to fix this we have to decide what we do with Classic. If we add icons to the edit bar, we can simply replace the classic iconbar with an edit bar and save a lot of work and bugs. -- NirSoffer 2005-01-13 16:03:41

Why does Moin even need an invalidate cache option?

• MoinMoin uses a caching subsystem that stores Python byte code of every page on the server. This makes page serving very fast. The cache is automatically recreated when needed, but there are still some bugs that require manual cache deletion from time to time.

Plan

Will be fixed in modern/rightsidebar in 1.3.2 as new menu item "Delete Cache", and in classic rename Refresh Cache, link to same name.

• Priority: Low

• Assigned to: NirSoffer

• Status: fixed in patch-560
