I have a question how to solve this problem.
I don't want to be index.tpl cached. But i want the included file (news_box in index.tpl) to be cached for 10 minutes. The code below, creates / rebuilds cache every 10 minutes. But the function isCached returns me false each time. Can you help me, how to solve this problem.

Your script does not know that you have cached a subtemplate and which lifetime was used. You must change your code as follow:

Hm.. i've noticed a problem and i don't know how to solve it.

For example:
when $smarty->isCached is called - at this moment cache is valid.
when {include..} is called, cache is not valid and more. So smarty will rebulid it. Because i've skipped part of code where it sets data, the smarty will save empty file.

Is there option to re-test isCached in the template file. So my soulution would be something like this:

The status of the $smarty->isCached(..) call is internally saved and should be used to consider if the cache file needs to be rebuild at the {include } call.
But this does work only if inside the template same life_time and cache_id is used as on the isCached() call in the script.

I will very that this it does work as it should and let you know ASAP.

So for the test, i've put sleep for 10 seconds.
Example:
1. {include .. cache_lifetime=30}
2. open page: news_box.tpl content shows as it should
3. put sleep for 10 seconds
4. after 25 seconds i've opened page ($smarty->isCached returns true)
5. page opens without news_box.tpl content. So this happens each time when isCached is called (the tpl has a valid cache) and when tpl is called cache is not valid any more.

cache_id_news is always available (in php and tpl).

Here is my code (php file):

I think I found a possible race condition. I will look further into it ASAP.

A fix for this problem is now in the SVN trunk.

NOTE: You must delete existing cached and compiled template files after this update.

Many thanks!
