[Solved]Clear Smarty Cache - not completely cleared PS 1.6.1.13 and .15

[Scully]

While testing we detected that clearing the smarty cache only seems to take effect partially.

From this two folders ...

/cache/smarty/cache
/cache/smarty/compile

Only the latter one /smary/compile is empty after hitting the clear cache in the backoffice settings.

The folder /smarty/cache remains with all data like ...

drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blockbestsellers_tab
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 homefeatured
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blockbestsellers_home
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blocksocial
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blockcategories
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blockmyaccountfooter
drwxrwx--x 3 myuser psacln 4096 Jul 31 12:45 blockcontactinfos
...

Anyone has seem similar effects or knows a work around without deleting the files manually?

Feedback is very appreciated.

As I told you before on German Forum, cannot register any problem with this. Boths folders recompile and write new cache immediately after clearing the cache. Only some modules are not recompiled. I'm not sure but seems that these modules don't need to be recompiled.

 

Perhaps you are having a configuration problem, or a theme problem ?

 

PS 1.6.1.12 - PS 1.6.1.15 same behavior.

 

Try to play with the configuration.

 

I have:

 

Template compilation: Recompile templates if the files have been updated

Cache: yes

Clear cache: Clear cache everytime something has been modified

Thank you for your feedback. We have the same options set as you mentionned. However I'd disabled express cache and tried again.

And now it flushes and re-creates the files. Must be some bug in the module. I'll contact the developer and close this thred.

 

Thanks again.

Well, I'm not using this module.
