View Full Version : Caching with MagpieRSS

Another site (rightsandresources.org) this time... and different problems.

MagpieRSS seems to be parsing only what's in the cache... the latest from my RSS feed (http://rightsandresources.blogspot.com/rss.xml) doesn't show up on the page where it is being aggregated (http://www.rightsandresources.org/new/)

As an experiment, I went into the "cache" directory created by MagpieRSS and deleted its contents... suddenly the latest items get parsed.

So it seems to me that the cache is being parsed without checking if there is anything new in the RSS feed.... I've been tempted to simply turn off caching, but I've heard this puts unnecessary strain on the server and slows down the load-time of the page.

Any thoughts?

Guh.. I'm stupid. Didn't realise that magpie_fetch.inc keeps the cache for 60 minutes until it checks the RSS feed for new info...
