Template Caching for Secure Pages
 

Does anyone else notice that secure page templates are cached in such a way so that when they are updated it takes about 1 hour for the template to reflect the changes? I am doing some template editing and would like to see the changes immediately.

I am betting this is a smarty setting, however, I haven't see where to change it. I have tried changing the following settings in my smarty.class.php file, but with no luck

SETTINNGS
var $compile_check = true;

var $force_compile = false; (tried setting it to true also)

var $cache_lifetime = 3600; (tried setting this to 0)

Thanks in advance for any help :!:

$force_compile set to true should force all templates to be compiled regardless of timestamp. This should fix the problem, unless you have improper permissions on the templates_c/ dir, I'd remove the directory and let smarty recreate it so it has permissions the webserver can read/write too.

Another thing I would change is:
$smarty->use_sub_dirs = false;

in smarty.php, I don't see the point of forcing compiling in one dir?

Btw, caching is disabled by default in x-cart with smarty.
$caching = 0;

hth. ;)
