timed_fragment_cache always expires

Are you running in development mode? Did you set:

config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

in environments/development.rb

Cheers,

I ended up choosing another approach. I am using the normal cache system. Then I made a cronjob, that deletes the cache files after after a certain amount of time.

Carsten, Just out of curiosity, Was that because of a limitation in the plugin or you just wanted a cron based solution? Are you using capistrano to setup that cron job? Cos otherwise it seems like another bit to configure unless of course the plugin didnt meet your requirements.

Oh it was simply, that I never succeded in getting the fragments to time-out and be rebuilt. After using 2 days on it, I had to quickly find another solution.

Our site was suddenly having a LOT of requests due to a TV commercial so I just had to get some cache to work quickly.

Just a question on the original code.

Shouldn't the line when_fragment_expired('front_popular_races', 10.minutes.ago) do

be when_fragment_expired('front_popular_races', 10.minutes.from_now) do

?

Perhaps that's the reason why the cache always expires.

Possibly. It's been so long since I tried it. But I think, that I tested both cases, because I was in doubt myself.

Anyway it's so long ago. :slight_smile:
