Interacting with CMSMS Caching
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2008 7:13 am
Hi Everyone,
I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for this to go, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Here's the problem:
I'm building a news site with CMSMS (version 1.4) but, given that CMSMS wasn't intended to do this, it has taken various UDTs and other jury-riggings to make the site work. As a result, the update process using CMSMS has become pretty convoluted. My first thought was to, after finalizing the site, build a separate interface, independent of CMSMS, that would be specifically designed for this site that would update/add content directly to the database to maintain the site. However, it occurred to me that adding content directly to the database without using CMSMS might create some potential problems with how CMSMS caches pages. Therefore, because I'm reluctant to try my hand at building the module inside of CMSMS (though I would if that was the only solution), I was wondering what you guys think is the easiest way to get an external update system to inter-operate with the CMSMS caching functions?
Thanks in advance.
