    I found out that if I go to the Spot post edit screen and click update, then it will detect the template change.

    Currently the cache is only updated when the spot is saved or edited. We’re looking into taking a hash of the file contents and using to check whether the cache should be updated too but at the moment it has no way of knowing if you’ve edited a template.

    ok, I guess I just expected it to work like a regular post template.
    thanks!

    Great – it’s not just me then 🙂 I’ve been trying to make a template update but with no effect either. Just made the ‘update’ connection before finding this thread.

    Other than that, it’s a great plugin – gives me some useful options for when setting up a site for a client.

    I’ve also been using the “Update” spot for template changes to take effect.

    I’ve now got a site where I’ve got about 20 spots all using the same template and I need to update the template.

    Is there a way to kill the whole cache and have it regenerate to save me going through and updating all of the spots?

    Hi guys, you can kill the spots cache altogether while you’re developing by defining the cache timeout.

    Place this code in your functions.php:

    define( 'SPOTS_CACHE_TIME', 0 );

    I’ll add this note to the readme too. If you develop in debug mode (which is generally a good idea) add this instead:

    if ( WP_DEBUG )
        define( 'SPOTS_CACHE_TIME', 0 );


    Really sorry it’s taken so long to respond, we’re a small team so support for free plugins can’t always be a priority when we have lots of client work which is pretty much all the time.

    Many thanks Rob, that’s very helpful.

    Totally understand the small team situation and really appreciate you guys taking time to release things back into the community and provide support as much as you can.

    No problem, I appreciate your patience. See you at WordCamp!
