Craft-SimpleCache

A lightweight plugin which adds file modified timestamp Urls using the filter simpleCache. When you update a file (i.e. via FTP) the appended timestamp will update to the "Modified time" of the file to invalidate the browsers' cache of the old file.

Installation

To install SimpleCache, follow these steps:

Upload the simplecache folder to craft/plugins/. Go to Settings > Plugins from your Craft control panel and enable the SimpleCache plugin.

Usage

CSS file

{% includeCssFile "/css/style.css" | simpleCache %}

Output: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css?1465304321" />

JavaScript file

{% includeJsFile "/js/scripts.js" | simpleCache %}

Output: <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scripts.js?1465304321"></script>

Apache (mod_include / SSI) combined file

If you have a combined file that won't update it's modified time when it's sources do; you can append an array of dependent files to the simpleCache filter.

{% includeCssFile "/css/styles.combined.css" | simpleCache([ '/css/styles.css', '/css/print.css', '/css/fonts.css' ]) %}

Output: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/styles.combined.css?1465304321" />

Updates

An update feed has been added into SimpleCache so you'll see the next update and features available via Craft CMS direct when there's a new tag available.
