Hi rwijs,

The problem with caching is... it caches things!

Because Joomla doesn't normally allow you to alter things so dynamically, the caching mechanism doesn't normally need to cache a different version for logged-in users and guests - however this is what it would now need to do, in order to work in your situation.

The overall Joomla System Cache plugin (is that the one you mean?) is a big blunt instrument that just isn't going to work for you.

The cache that's in the Joomla Global Preferences can possibly be made to work. When you edit most types of modules, you get the ability to "opt out" of the cache -- so I would suggest that you use that cache, then go into the Menu module for the menu that you are displaying, then in the parameters set the caching from "Use Global" to "No Caching".

Try that and please let us know how you get on...

Best regards,
Stephen

Hi René,

Are you still having problems with it? Even when the global cache is off, and the individual cache for the topmenu module is turned off ("no caching")?

Cheers,
Stephen

Yes, the system plugin cache has to be turned off. I would expect the "global preferences" cache to be able to work as long as the modules concerned have opted out of the cache... but perhaps I'm wrong about that. I think I need to experiment a bit more with this to see where the caching actually occurs.

Cheers,
Stephen
