Codeigniter - cache only part of the view

That is very interesting. I have never used (or even knew about) this cache feature but it does appear to be a bit all or nothing. I think setting a cache for a particular view call could be interesting. However given that I did not even know about it I am not sure how important it actually is for me personally. Although I do have a site with a large dynamically generated menu that this might have been useful for. As it is I write a bit of code that once a day updates a separate table with the new menu, or updates the menu table should an admin change the feed data.

I can think of lots of places I might use a partial cache, but hardly any for a total cache.

So I think I agree with your point, but am unsure about how important it actually is.

Best wishes,

Paul.
