+# ViewMemcache
+
+Store your view(s) to memcache.  Allows easy distributed view invalidation and serving pages right from memcache via nginx (for example)
+
+## Configuration
+
+clone into APP/Plugin/ViewMemcache
+
+Make an entry in APP/bootstrap.php for the 'view_memcache' engine:
+
+```php
+ Cache::config('view_memcache', array(
+ 		'engine' => 'Memcache', //[required]
+ 		'duration'=> 1209600, //2 weeks [optional]  You can conditionally set this in your controller and or action, see below
+ 		'probability'=> 100, //[optional]
+  		'prefix' => 'VM_', //[optional]  prefix every cache file with this string. If you change, make sure to update your nginx conf
+  		'servers' => array(
+  			'127.0.0.1:11211' // localhost, default port 11211
+  		), //[optional]
+  		'persistent' => true, // [optional] set this to false for non-persistent connections
+  		'compress' => true, // [optional] compress data in Memcache (slower, but uses less memory)
+ ));
+ ```
+
+Put this in APP/Controller/AppController.php or just in the controller you want to do caching in.  
+
+```php
+var $helpers = array('ViewMemcache.ViewMemcache');  
+```
+
+From controller (or beforeFilter(), or AppController::beforeFilter()) simply do:
+
+```php
+ $viewMemcacheTimeout = <seconds> | <cache engine readable range, ex: '+30 days'>;	//This is optional. If not set, will use
+ $enableViewMemcache = true;
+ $this->set(compact('viewMemcacheTimeout','enableViewMemcache'));
+```
+
+### nginx sample config
+
+location / {
+	set $memcached_key "VM_:$request_uri";;
+	memcached_connect_timeout 2000;
+	memcached_read_timeout 2000;
+	memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
+	default_type text/html;
+	# if memcache throws one of the following errors fallback to PHP
+	error_page 404 502 504 = @fallback;
+}
+
+location @fallback{
+	root /var/www/demo.*.com/app/webroot;
+
+	try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
+}
+
+location ~ \.php$ {
+	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
+	fastcgi_index index.php;
+	include fastcgi_params;
+	fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
