Clear Smarty Cache

If you change settings in PostCalendar and you notice that there is a delay before the changes take place, it probably might have been because of the Cache - you can manually clear the cache in the PostCalendar admin section. This will aid in seeing if changes you made to your site or directory structure have taken hold. By clearing the cache it will cause Smarty to recompile and recache new versions of the pages. The cache is set to on by default and each page will time out in 3600 seconds (1 hour). You can turn off caching in the PC admin as well if you don’t want to use this time saving feature.

The smarty cache is cleared whenever the following occurs:

• Admin settings are changed
• Categories are updated
• An event is added, modified or deleted

This helps keep the site up to date and also helps to speed things up dramatically. A typical month view takes approx 0.5 - 0.8 seconds to build the first time around and approx 0.02 seconds to display the cached version.
