Hi,

I have sometimes a problem with the editor and the cache of my browser.
The pages are sometimes preserved.

I would like to force the browser as follows :

<?php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
Header('Content-Type: text/javascript');
?>

You think that it is a good solution ?

Thank you for your feedback.

It's worth a try. It could be something to do with the setup of your web browser, or web server as well. I've seen some web servers that send extra caching headers unnecessarily.

But adding that header first is a good first start. You'll want to add that to the very top of /lib/menus/header.php.

Also don't include the "text/javascript" line since that content isn't javascript.

Let me know if that works.

I hate to post up on a really old thread but I think I am having this issue.
I recently changed a misspelling in a Drop Down Option list in a Section Editor.
It has not changed on the site and I'm wondering if the DB has a cache or the site itself.
Perhaps I have to force a refresh on the content pull somehow?
I have tried numerous times on different browsers all dumping the cache in each but I still see the value.
Any ideas?

Hi,

It shouldn't be a caching issue if you've tried it in multiple browsers. Are the drop down options just a list, or are they being brought in from a different table?

If you're still experiencing this issues, please fill out a 2nd Level Support Request here:

and we can take a closer look at this for you.

Hope this helps.

Its the same editor same table, and here is the code for the search in the head:

// load records
list($all_find_a_retailerRecords, $all_find_a_retailerMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'find_a_retailer',
'allowSearch' => false,
'loadUploads' => '0',
'orderBy' => 'state',
));

list($find_a_retailerRecords,) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'find_a_retailer',
'requireSearchMatch' => true,
));

and the body:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>" id="retailer_search" >
<select name="state">
<option value="">Select A State</option>
<?php $lastState = null; ?>
<?php foreach($all_find_a_retailerRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($lastState == $record['state']) { continue; } else { $lastState = $record['state']; } ?>
<option><?php echo htmlspecialchars($record['state']) ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>
</select>


<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">
</form>
below all this is the regular old "ForEach" code for the results.
I changed the spelling for a State abbreviation in the Editor and it did not reflect the change on the site drop down for the search.
Weird.
I ended up deleting the states field from the editor and added it back in as a new entry. Which sucks because I had to go back and literally check off each state for all locations.

Yeah still had the issue as of earlier but since then I deleted the field in the editor and recreated it but as I was saying earlier.... had to essentially re-map all the retailers (missing a state = no results in search to put them in)
