Does System Cache plugin render Global Conf>>Cache useless?

Post by soygul » Sat Oct 04, 2008 5:32 pm

I noticed that i had both System Cache plugin and Global Conf.>>Cache turned on. Didn't have the time to look through the code so I'm asking here: Does anyone know if Global Conf.>>Cache can be turned off when System Cache is turned on, as it caches the whole page so no more module caching is required?

Well I looked through the code and found out that system cache supersedes global cache for logged in users as it simply fetches the static html pages and stores them in the cache (so global cache is not needed). But still, a confirmation on this would be nice.

Sounds right. They are not the same thing. You can turn Global cache on but keep System Cache turned off. Thank God, because System Cache doesn't work well if you need to allow your visitors to login. See this thread:
