Feature Request: Button and/or method to clear the Home Page cache

[anthonyeden]

Hi,

I want a way to clear the homepage cache from an externally accessible function? I'd love to clear the homepage cache whenever settings on our own custom admin screen are changed.

I can't see a way to do this via your exposed functions. Any clues?

Thanks,
Anthony Eden.

@anthonyeden This is not currently possible, however I'll accept this as a feature request.

Note that while it's not currently possible to clear only the home page cache, you can clear the cache dynamically in many other ways:

• Clearing the Cache Dynamically

Also, note that it's also possible to exclude the home page from being cached altogether.

@jaswsinc Now that #191 has been closed and we have a new API function (#590) to clear specific URLs, is it possible to clear the home page cache via zencache::clearUrl($url);?

[jaswrks]

Yep. Definitely possible to do that now with the new API function.

@anthonyeden With the next release of ZenCache Pro it will be possible to clear the Home Page cache via zencache::clearUrl() by passing in a new watered-down regex syntax.

Regarding making a "button" for this (to clear the Home Page cache): I'm closing this issue in favor of #380. When #380 is closed, it should be possible to visit the home page as an admin and simply click a new "Clear Current Page" button (to be worked on as part of #380).

@anthonyeden A new feature added in #596 (comment) that will be released with the next version of ZenCache Pro closes this issue. There's now a Clear Cache sub-menu in the Admin Bar that allows clearing the cache for the Home Page:
