does MLF use cache ? - my little forum

does every request from a client need to bother database ? or do we use kind of cache to speed up response and reduce bandwidth ?

thank you

I believe this depends on the database configuration....query cache is configured on DB level.

thank you riba

is it possible to set up extra folder on the website directory and that folder will hold all the pages viewed within a certain duration, say 15 minutes, and the temp files (witch are plain .html files) delete themselves if no one requests within 15 mins ?

MLF uses Smarty templating engine which has caching ability and I believe it is being used:
http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/caching.php

i check the index.php file but can't find

$smarty->caching = 1;

also i wonder, what are the files in template_c ?

That's where the cached files are kept.

but how to explain the missing

$smarty->caching = 1;

i can't find the ./cache directory

i think the content cache of each thread is OFF, we need to turn on by ourselves, i just don't know how to.

My understanding is that MLF does use Smarty caching. However, does anyone know any specifics about it? Such as:

Is caching enabled for everything?
How long are they cached?
Is the cache refreshed for the page when a user posts?
In what other instances is the cache refreshed?

Thanks in advance for any information you can share.
