Difference: VarVARCACHE (1 vs. 2)

VARCACHE{ attributes } -- cache TWiki variables in selected topics for faster page rendering

• The %VARCACHE{}% variable is handled by the VarCachePlugin.
• Syntax: %VARCACHE{ "24" }%
• Supported attributes:

  Attribute	Comment	Default <-- -->
  updatemsg="..."	Message shown after a cache refresh. Use $link to indicate the refresh URL	UPDATEMSG setting
  "..." or refresh="..."	Cache refresh period in hours (maximum age of cache)	REFRESH setting
  cachemsg="..."	Message shown when looking at a cached topic. Use $age to indicate the age of cache, $link to indicate the refresh URL	CACHEMSG setting

• Example: %VARCACHE{"168"}% caches the current page for 7 days
• Exclude variables from getting cached:
  • Use <varcache_exclude> ... </varcache_exclude> to exclude sections of a page
    • Example: <varcache_exclude> %SEARCH{...}% </varcache_exclude> runs the search on every page view, regardless of caching
  • Or, prefix variables with VARCACHE_EXCLUDE_
    • Example: %VARCACHE_EXCLUDE_WIKIUSERNAME% renders the WIKIUSERNAME variable on every page view, regardless of caching
