Caching Phrases

[ragtek]

ATM I'm creating cached phrases for the navbar and all other are uncached.
When should we use cached phrases and when not?

I cache phrases I think are going to be used frequently (front end). For those in the ACP, I don't cache as they won't be used that often.

You only need to cache phrases that are not referenced directly in templates.

So, this phrase:

my_template
<p>{xen:phrase my_phrase}</p>

... does not need to be cached, while the one referenced here:

another_template
<p>{xen:phrase $phraseName}</p>

... needs to be cached or it won't work.

It's not really a matter of caching for performance, it's a matter of caching so that the phrase is available at all. If the phrase content can be known at the point at which you save the template, it likely does not need to be cached.

<p>{xen:phrase $phraseName}</p>

For reference, that's not allowed - in this situation, the phrase would be prepared in the code via a new XenForo_Phrase object.

Good information on when to cache phrases, thanks, guys!

 

[ragtek]

that's why we need a developer documentation

This literally just made my day.

Oops my bad.
