okay, this definitely helps ... time to do some code tracing, see if I can't figure out what is breaking, and where ... it either in the sql query, or in the caching ...

Caching is done via the Slash object (ie within Apache), minimally, and then they use memcached, and eventually mysql's own caching.

Because you could set a block to show in more then one skin. I do not remember why there is a pulldown that has 'portald' as allowable value for 'type', but then a 'portal' checkbox, too. > > Shane > > > On Feb 11, 2011, at 9:59 PM, Marc G.
