Post subject: [SOLVED]Issue With RSS Feed And Cache

Hello that's me again !

Ok first of all I've updated to the last 2.0.1.87 version.

I'll try to explain my issue as much as I can, I have a wordpress site with a RSS feed reader so people can see what are the last topics posted etc..
The RSS reader actually see everything that is contained into the rss_feed.xml file in my forum cache folder.

The problem is, when I make a new post the forum will actually not update/recreate this file so my wordpress site won't see any change.. If I delete this file it will actually be recreated when I refresh my site with the new post showing up.
The only way I can have my site to show new post is when I :

[list]Delete the rss_feed.xml file in the cache folder[/list]
[list]Clean the cache in the ACP[/list]

I've tried to desactivate the cache in the themes options but it still isn't working

Anyone know how I can fix this please by chance ?

nb: site is http://www.conseil-config.com and forum is located there http://www.conseil-config.com/forum/

Hi,

I think the rss's cache is configurable from ACP.

Hello Informpro, thanks for your answer !

Sadly I have yet to find the option, do you know where it is ?

ACP >> News >> News config >> TTL ( Time To Live! )

Hi jousa203, thanks for your answer

If I change the TTL to 1min, it will actually works on my web browser, and show the last post after 1minute but it still not updates the actual rss_feed.xml file in the cache folder so the RSS reader on my site is still not updating :/

Use rss.php ?

I tried your plugin and I still have the same issue.

It will not show any new post until I delete rss_feed.xml from the forum cache folder

This is a guess?

rss.php

Find this:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

		$cachefiletime = @filemtime($cache_file);

		$timedif = ($deadline - $cachefiletime);

		if(($timedif < CACHE_TIME) && (@filesize($cache_file) > 0))

		{

And just try this until MG can sort it out?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

		$cachefiletime = @filemtime($cache_file);

		$cachefiletime = '0';

		$timedif = ($deadline - $cachefiletime);

		if(($timedif < CACHE_TIME) && (@filesize($cache_file) > 0))

		{

Yeah when I had to take a look for a bugfix I had to mess around this to get the rss to refresh ...

Well, some things shouldn't be cached - Maybe RSS is one of them.

Too memory-heavy sadly

Hello !

I found out the other day how to make it work until it get fixed (well I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do but I got my RSS working :P)

I went in rss.php to find :

Code: [Hide] [Select]

// BEGIN Cache Mod

$use_cached = false;

$cache_file = '';

if(CACHE_TO_FILE && (CACHE_TIME > 0))

{

	$cache_file = IP_ROOT_PATH . $cache_root . $cache_filename;

	if(($cache_root != '') && empty($_GET))

	{

		$cachefiletime = @filemtime($cache_file);

		$timedif = ($deadline - $cachefiletime);

		if(($timedif < CACHE_TIME) && (@filesize($cache_file) > 0))

		{

			$use_cached = true;

		}

	}

}

// END Cache Mod

The I changed $use_cached = true; to $use_cached = false;

Should I try mort solution or can I leave it like that for now ?

Mate, if it's working as you expect it and are happy with it - Leave it as is until MG can have a look at what's happening.
