I am storing the product, tip and post in Rails built in Cache at the site [www.onebeautyproduct.com](http://www.onebeautyproduct.com). Currently I have built a button in the administration that says “publish today’s events” which essentially deletes and stores todays events. I have tried using Cron but it doesn’t work with cache and it only works with a Model’s methods. Anyone have a recommendation on how to do this? Thanks a lot! ---

I use fragment caching, and each model clears its own cache items whenever it receives an update of data shown in one type of cache or another. The ‘show’ cache is always invalidated, the other four cached views depend on whether the data for that view was changed or not. Shouldn’t be difficult to adapt that to a method called when a model instance is ‘deleted and stored’, depending on how your caching is setup.
