Force recompile?

[JPortal]

Sorry, I don't like this feature.

I've made template systems before, and what I've always done is checked the creation time of the cached file against the time the template was last modified. Works really well, and makes it a lot easier to edit templates. It would also cut down a lot of support questions like "my template changes aren't taking effect!"

I mean really, it would only take one or two lines of code in template.php.

You can activate force recompile in the ACP -> Load Settings:

Recompile stale templates:
Check for updated template files on filesystem and recompile.

So why the moaning?

Still, seems kind of pointless. Oh well, at least it's more there than I thought it was.

The fact of where it is should give some indication why it's off by default Checking the timestamp every time it's used adds slightly to the page generation time and load for something that is unlikely to change much once the template is installed - so you can set it to force checking whilst developing and then turn it off for a live board.

Is it just me or is psoTFX going nuts about page generation time?

Seriously though, all the new techniques are awesome... I guess every little bit adds up. Or rather, doesn't add up. 0.480 seconds? That's insanse.

Seems to be getting a lot faster.

This is like, bordering on impossible to be any faster...

Speaking of which, I got 0.035s. Loser!
