How to manage caching¶
Set-up¶
To setup caching configure a caching backend in django.
Details for caching can be found here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/cache/
In your middleware settings be sure to add django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware at the first and
django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware at the last position:
MIDDLEWARE=[
'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
...
'cms.middleware.language.LanguageCookieMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.user.CurrentUserMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.page.CurrentPageMiddleware',
'cms.middleware.toolbar.ToolbarMiddleware',
'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
],
Plugins¶
New in version 3.0.
Normally all plugins will be cached. If you have a plugin that is dynamic based on the current user or other
dynamic properties of the request set the cache=False attribute on the plugin class:
class MyPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
name = _("MyPlugin")
cache = False
Warning
If you disable a plugin cache be sure to restart the server and clear the cache afterwards.
Content Cache Duration¶
Default: 60
This can be changed in CMS_CACHE_DURATIONS
Settings¶
Caching is set default to true. Have a look at the following settings to enable/disable various caching behaviours:
