Clearing cache via admin

[Paul West]

Hi Chris,

I'm hearing reports from our copywriters that when updating content via the admin manage content the changes are not seen on the front-end. I'm guessing this is a case of the EAV value being cached. I understand this is meant to get updated on entity update but doesn't seem to be the case.

It would be nice to have a "clear cache" button available within admin so if this ever happens we could clear all cache to make sure all content is latest from db.

I am aware we could log onto the system and delete the files but our Servers are all Dockered and very tightly secured and it would be nice if i could pass this responsibility onto admins not devs.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

what do you mean by "content cache"?, as far I remember there is no content-cache feature.

The only automatic cache EAV features is for holding the list of virtual columns of each table, but this is properly handled when adding or removing virtual properties. Also remember that Contents do not use EAV directly, they use the Field API which, yes, is built on top of EAV API.

Maybe it's cakephp caching the db query then. The copywriter was saying they edited an article (a few typos) but after saving did not see the changes on the front-end of the website. hard refreshes in the browser made no difference.

I have found the need when making big changes in admin to delete all in tmp/* in my DEV setup so it was removing all tmp files was what i was looking for.
