Magpie RSS Caching

[StevePBurgess@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am using Magpie RSS and want to change the Caching period to half an
hour instead of one hour.

I have modified the line in RSS_CACHE.INC so that it reads:

var $MAX_AGE = 900; // when are files stale, default one
hour

but this doesn't seem to have any effect. It still only gets a fresh
version of the file every hour.

Any thoughts?

Steve

Ooops I meant 1800 seconds (being half an hour) not 900. But it still
isn't working.

Any idea?

Many thanks,
Steve

Don't modify the source code of Magpie, use the configuration options
supplied. IIRC, Magpie uses a constant for the caching period, which it sets to
a default value, which you can then override. The default value of the variable
you've modified only takes effect if the constant isn't defined at all.

Cheers! I had a dig around and found the configuration settings.

Many thanks
