I have a view with block display that shows a user's picture and profile info. The view is cached for 1 hour.

How can I expire that cache when the user updates the profile?

I ended up using Views Cache Actions. It allows to use rules to expire a specific view or views displays when a certain event occurs (like user profile save).

Give it a try Views Content Cache

This module implements a views cache plugin that is aware of content and can provide caching for views, until the content in those views changes.

Since, profile content is saved as a node the above module should work as it tell. Try and let us know !

OR

If above module doesn't address the isue we are looking for then use hook_profile2_update to hook into profile update and use the logic in above module to clear cache of a respective views block.

  • I'm not using Profile2 module so my user profile aren't nodes. But good idea to take a look how it's done in that module. – uwe Sep 26 '12 at 15:19

    I looked at the code but the way views builds the cache keys doesn't look trivial to me. – uwe Sep 27 '12 at 17:15
