Nested views and caching

Hi there,

I have a question about nested views and caching.

Initially I had a function in my controller that generates a dynamic page and I was passing data into it. I then separated the function into two, because I wanted to cache a chunk of the data. The code is something like this:

Code:

function foo() {
  $data['dynamic'] = $this->some_model->get_dynamic_data();
  $data['static'] = $this->_bar();
  $this->load->view('main_page',$data);
}

function _bar() {
  $data['chunk'] = $this->some_model->get_chunk_of_data();
  $this->output->cache(1440);
  return $this->load->view('chunk',$data,TRUE);
}

My expectation was that the main page would still be dynamic while it pulled the 'chunk' from the cache. However, the above code caches the entire 'main_page' view.

What am I doing wrong? Would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Hi, thanks for the tip.

The template library looks great but seems too complex for my current needs.

Just wondering if anyone knows a quick workaround.

cheers.
