Block Cache

The cache block uses the thelia.cache service.

You can add this block on static parts (menu, footer, …) of your site to improve the generation time of your web pages

Arguments

• key : (mandatory) a unique key
• ttl : (mandatory) a time to live in seconds
• lang : specific cache by lang, (default: current lang id)
• currency : specific cache by currency, (default: current currency id)

You can add as many arguments as you need. These arguments will be used to generate a unique key.

Example:

Simple example:

{cache key="my-cache" ttl=600}
    ... HTML or Smarty code ...
{/cache}

Example for a specific cache by customer:

{cache key="my-cache" ttl=600 customer_id=$CUSTOMER_ID}
    ... HTML or Smarty code ...
{/cache}

Example for disable cache by currency:

{cache key="my-cache" ttl=600 currency="no"}
    ... HTML or Smarty code ...
{/cache}

Example for a specific cache by admin:

{cache key="my-cache" ttl=600 admin_id_=$ADMIN_ID}
    ... HTML or Smarty code ...
{/cache}

You can disable the caching of a block without delete it. For this, you must specify a ttl to 0.

{$ttl = 600}
{if $myCondition}
    {$ttl = 0}
{/if}

{cache key="my-cache" ttl=$ttl}
    ... HTML or Smarty code ...
{/cache}

For Thelia < 2.4

A module can reproduce this behavior. Smarty Cache for Thelia < 2.4
