I have a view that is time-based cached.

One of the options on the exposed form is a 'near me now', which sorts the results by distance and displays mileage.

The users location is provided by the IPM&V Module, and works fine with the view cache turned off.

The problem is that with cache-view turned on, sorting by near me now continues to display the results based on previous requests. The view is 'cached' and not using the current users location.

I could simply turn views caching off, but hate losing the extra speed.

Is there a way (a hook or function) that tells views to 'refresh/clear cache' if certain conditions are met? Ie, if user selects 'near me now' do not cache.

I looked at a combination of rules/cache action, but couldn't get it to work on a specific filter input.

Any ideas appreciated.

  • How about this... drupal.org/node/322104 ... An alternative solution would be to empty the page cache for that particular page once a day/hour to make sure that it's relatively up to date...

  • Thanks for the reply, but that really doesn't work. Since User A comes and says show me nearby items, and then a few seconds later User B comes and shows me nearby items. So empty the cache once a day, etc isn't a solution -- since each user has their own view results.

How about this module: https://www.drupal.org/files/images/Views_content_cache.png

Without testing it I cannot tell if it will expose the 'nearby' state as a filter for for the update cache function but looks like a good place to start: enter image description here

  • Awesome module, will come in handy for other cases. But only seems to be on editing/adding/deleting content. So can't use in this instance.
