You can use some of the model hooks (like after save) to clear the cache, then call a method that rebuilds it, or the appropriate parts. You might also consider storing separate caches for each component/ model whenever it's updated.
With the home page idea, you can create a controller with no model behind it, and update your routes for '/' to point to that controller. It's not unlike the pages controller (notice no model). ~Cameron On Aug 7, 11:01 am, andy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Has anyone made a CakePHP project where you have a homepage that pulls > information from various models (ex: calendar events, news articles, > etc.) and displays it on said homepage? > > In Rails I did something like that in the past... and I was able to > clear the cache for the homepage whenever I made an update to any of > the (calendar events, news articles, etc.) models. > > I've been reading through the CakePHP Book docs and searching this > group but I haven't been able to find a way to clear my Homepage cache > whenever I make a change to those "included" models. > > Any idea how I could do this?
