Doesn't cache views blocks

I'll look into that this weekend. Have you applied one of the patches also that came with the module?

Hi,

I have this problem too but only using

$block = module_invoke('blockcache_alter', 'block', 'view', 'block,14');
print $block['content'];

It even increases the no. of queries to perform compared to

$block = module_invoke(block, 'block', 'view', 14);
print $block['content'];

However, the block is cached when displaying in a region, so my guess its not modules conflict.

My code is something like this,

$block = module_invoke('blockcache_alter', 'block', 'view', 'viewXXX,block_5');
print $block['content'];

Thanks and its a great module!

Its a clean installation for D6, 1st time use. I checked the results using devel and realise using the modified block snippet performs 1 more query than the original.

Nope, I am logging as a registered role with access to devel. Just tried again this morning and having the same result.

Btw I think _blockcache_alter_get_cache_id is the extra query being called. Thanks.

subscribe, thx!

@dropchew, I'll investigate the issue further this weekend.

Thanks swentel. Appreciate that.

@dropchew : tested it on my local machine here. I created a block in views, went to block administration and put caching mode on 'PER PAGE' for that block, enabled block caching on the performance page and added dsm in the 'blockcache_alter_block_view' function as you can see underneath.

  if (($cid) && ($cache = cache_get($cid, 'cache_block'))) {
    $array = $cache->data;
    dsm('from cache');
  }
  else {
    $array = module_invoke($module, 'block', 'view', $delta);
    dsm('not from cache');
  ...

I had a menu item with a callback which simply did the module_invoke and return the data.

function testpage() {
$block = module_invoke('blockcache_alter', 'block', 'view', 'views,RandomList-block_1');
return $block['content'];
}

Everything went fine, the first time (as a normal user) I got the 'not from cache' message, on reload the 'from cache' message and the cache_block table had following entry: views:RandomLijst-block_1: - [BLOB - 2,4 KB] , so I'm not sure what goes wrong with your code.

(Apart from that, the cid parts is empty, that might be another problem, but not related to this issue)

Hi swentel,

I just tried it again using your method and it works. Not sure why it doesn't work for me before. I notice also it will be cached whether or not if you went to block administration and put caching mode on. Thanks and sorry for taking your time.
