#2617 Cache needs to be cleared when changing theme

[fade2gray]

Problem: When changing theme, many image paths from the initial session theme are retained in the cache resulting in incorrect images being displayed.

Possible solution: Force the cache to be cleared when changing theme by adding a call to function "clearCache()" from within the function "print_theme_dropdown()".

That's not going to work. The next visitor to the site is going to get the images from the theme you changed to, instead of the site default one.

A better solution might be to include the theme name in the path to the cache file, so that the path would be "index/cache/theme/language/gedcom/block

Fixed in SVN 5747. Replaced file "includes/index_cache.php".

The index page caching system is now aware of the theme the page is being viewed in. There's a separate set of cache files for each theme. Each theme's cache files are created only as needed.

Gerry, not sure if this is coincidence, but after upgrading to svn 5749, I ran "Cleanup Index directory" from the Admin menu and got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare full_rmdir() (previously declared in /xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/httpdocs/dir_editor.php:42) in /xxxxxxxxxxxxx/httpdocs/includes/index_cache.php on line 142

Thanks, Kiwi.

I'll have to change the function name or have just a single instance of the function somewhere.

Stay tuned.

Try SVN 5750.

I took the quick-and-dirty route of re-naming the function.

A more elegant solution would be to create a new "functions_file.php" and move all of the file and directory manipulation functions out of "functions.php" and the various other places in the program.

This will have to wait for another day.
