Title: Cache files
Post by: cormullion on January 13, 2010, 07:17:12 AM
Where's a good place to put cache files? I want to cache some data from run to run, wonder where the best place to put it would be, and how to specify the address correctly?

Put it wherever you want, but outside of the dragonfly-framework folder.

Not sure what you mean.

OK, thanks. It's now in databases/, seems like a good place.



I was just asking in case there was some recommended way of specifying paths, such as (string DOCUMENT_ROOT "blah"), but don't worry, it works as I expected.



(I've been drawing graphs using canvas - //http://unbalanced-parentheses.nfshost.com/dragonfly_twitter - wanted to keep data for longer than twitter.com keeps them, so they're now saved in a cache...)

:) The code's a bit straggly though! :)
