Hey,

I want to cache pages…  
I have this function show, and on top of my page I have the cache stuff.  
But it doesnt seem to work. Cuz I saw still queries in the development  
log file. Can anyone help me?  
I have tried caches\_page and caches\_action

And what about parameters like /show/1, /show/2, /show/3 =\>\> need to be  
different caches. Does anyone has any good full example?

class Frontend::ProductsController \< FrontEndController

caches\_page :show  
#caches\_action :show

def show  
@product = Product.find(:first, :conditions =\> [‘id = ?’, params[:id]])  
if @product == nil  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’  
end  
end

end

Thx  
N.

Caching isn’t enabled in development mode…

Set config.action\_controller.perform\_caching to true in  
config/environments/development.rb if you want to see how it works.

Or switch your environment to production…

Caching is by default turned off in development environment,  
In your config/environments/production.rb file it sets some  
caching settings to true, meaning it works only in production mode

Hope this helps!
