==============

[Download](https://github.com/gocom/rah_memcached/releases) | [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/rah/rah_memcached) | [Issues](https://github.com/gocom/rah_memcached/issues)

A plugin for [Textpattern CMS](https://textpattern.com) that stores parts of your templates in [Memcached](https://memcached.org/), a distributed in-memory key-value caching system.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require rah/rah_memcached
```

Or [download](https://github.com/gocom/rah_memcached/releases) an installer package.

Basics
------

[](#basics)

The plugin, rah\_memcached, introduces a new container tag to Textpattern’s arsenal. The tag stores the wrapped content, and [variables](https://docs.textpattern.com/tags/variable) set within it, in Memcached’s in-memory storage.

```

```

On subsequent calls the resulting output markup and variables will be loaded from memory, skipping template parsing and code execution, speeding up your site and alleviating database load.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Textpattern >= 4.7.0.
- PHP >= 8.1.0.
- [Memcached](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.memcached.php) PHP extension.
- [libmemcached](https://libmemcached.org/) client library.
- [Memcached](https://memcached.org/) server.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Connected server can be configured through Textpattern’s `textpattern/config.php` file:

```
define('RAH_MEMCACHED_HOST', 'localhost');
define('RAH_MEMCACHED_PORT', 11211);
```

Attributes
----------

[](#attributes)

```

    ...contained statement...

```

The tag is a container and attributes for it follow.

**name**
Sets a name, a key, for the cached item. The given name is used identify the item, and save and fetch it from the storage. If a *name* is not defined, it’s automatically created by hashing the given contained markup. While the name is optional, giving it is more efficient and avoids any potential hash collisions.
Default: *undefined* Example: `name="mykey"`

**expires**
Time in seconds it takes to the stored item to expire and be refreshed. If zero (`0`), the cache is kept in memory until the cache is flushed or Memcached is restarted.
Default: `0` Example: `expires="3600"`

**persist**
If enabled, ignores content updates as set by site’s `lastmod` timestamp. By default, the cache is invalidated when Texptatern’s lastmod timestamp is updated, which is done when any content is updated.
Default: *disabled* Example: `persist`
