[Moin-devel] Re: [Moin-devel] dependencies[] for macros

[Jim Clark]

Just an update on my caching question - I think I've found the answer,
but would be curious if there are alternative/better methods.

1. In the macro header, use the line

Dependencies = ["time"]

This forces a recalculation with each call of the macro.


2. Inside the macro call do this:

    from MoinMoin import caching, wikiutil

    cache = caching.CacheEntry(self.macro.request, 'RSS',
               wikiutil.quoteWikinameFS(self.args['url']))
    # if cached entry is from within the last hour, use it.
    if (time.time() - cache.mtime() < 3600):
        return cache.content()

    #else, do feed parsing, generate HTML ...

    cache.update(html)

Cheers,

Jim
