our own RSS don’t update in dashboard

  • SO like posted on here i set our dashboard to pull our own RSS feed for site news. the thing is when i add or removed POSTINGS the DASHBOARD does not show the change.

    Example..Say i have 2 items posted. if it is a users first time loggin into dashboard they will see them. say later on i remove one of those items/postings. next time the user logs back into dashboard they still see 2 items the current one and the deleted one. now if they click on the subject of the deleted one they will get the 404 error as it is really gone, but still displayed in the dashboard.

    clearing browser cache does not work.

    The only way i found to get dashboard to update to show the real current feeds is if i go into the sql tables “Options” for each users and delete any RSS entries then the next time they log into dash board it will update but only that one time or until I repeat the OPTIONS table deletion of the RSS entries for each users OPTIONS table.

    Any advice on a cure for this???

  • The underlying code has its own caching mechanism. It only tries to update every X hours (I think it might be once per hour, can’t remember).

    Also, I don’t know offhand of any RSS aggregation system that will pre-check the existance of a post — deletion removes it for future checks, but the cached list has an entry for it.

    Thanks for the reply. I saw it had its own cacheing, the thing is i have accounts that have not logged in for a couple of days and when they do dashboard still does not show items that were posted recently, they just see the items they first saw on the first login.

    That is the head scratcher to me…i can tell there is a cache but it feels like it does not clean its self or update at all.

    Any other ideas?
