Excluding certain pages from Radiant cache

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS

All,

Is there a way to keep a specific page from being cached by Radiant?

Thanks,
Wes

You could make a custom page class and turn it off.

class NoCachePage < Page
def cache
false
end
end

You could also take a look at

The page-options extension appears to no longer be compatible with
Radiant (it was written at Radiant 0.7), per:

def cache_setting
@page = Page.find(self.id)
case true
when @page.cache_expire_minutes == 0 && @page.cache_expire_time
== nil: “Default”
when @page.cache_expire_minutes == -1: “No Caching”
when @page.cache_expire_minutes == 1: “1 minute”
when @page.cache_expire_minutes > 1:
“#{@page.cache_expire_minutes} minutes”
when @page.cache_expire_time != nil &&
@page.cache_expire_time.is_a?(Time)
“Daily at
#{@page.cache_expire_time.strftime(”%H")}:#{@page.cache_expire_time.strftime(“%M”)}"
else “Not set”
end
end

“cache_expire_minutes” and “cache_expire_time” are no longer page
attributes, and as far as I can tell, all of the caching is not being
managed through HTTP response headers, is that correct?

Caching is handled via HTTP headers and RackCache, but the
page_options extension adds fields to each page to control this.
I’ve not used it, so perhaps others can jump in here.

If I made a custom page class to handle this, how would I assign
particular pages to it?

I ended up defining a non-cacheable page like so:

class NonCacheablePage < Page
def cache?
false
end
end

and it works well.

Many thanks,
Wes

Interesting - I tried this:

Page

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
DENY_CACHING_PATHS = [’/’]

def cache?
! DENY_CACHING_PATHS.include?(slug)
end
end

as an initializer but the expires header for ‘/’ still came out at ~5
min.

Will need to dig deeper.
