Description

The set up I have on my local install, and it is demonstrated below.


Problem:

  1. have structure
  2. have menu module showing structure
    • when add page to structure, it should show in menu module
  3. menu module is cached, though it has cache time set to 0 (to never cache). This makes it so when you add a page you have to clear cache for it to show up in the menu module.



Solution
Fixed! -> Caching issue isn't an issue when menu module is used in horizontal mode instead of the vertical mode. So don't place the structure menu in the left bar but somewhere on the top of the page and change the menu display from horz. to vert.
Workaround

Dunno why this fixes it, but probably not the best way to do this.

Modify lib/smarty_tiki/function.menu.php, comment out statement starting at line 123, shown below.

Copy to clipboard
if (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 'tiki-register') === false) {         
      $cachelib->cacheItem($cacheName, serialize(array($menu_info, $channels)), $cacheType);
        }

Another workaround:

create a cron job to clear the cache with this command:
ls -1d ./temp/cache/* |grep -v -e index.php | xargs -r /bin/rm
