Requirements

[](#requirements)

- QueuedJobs module ()

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Define cache config - use the caches.conf.sample file as a guide
- Add the SimpleCachePublisher extension to a publishable data type and publish your page.

```
Controller:
  extensions:
    - SimpleCacheControllerExtension

SiteTree:
  extensions:
    - SimpleCachePublisherExtension

```

- Change .htaccess to point to simplecache/frontend-cache.php instead of framework/main.php
- Works in a similar way to static publisher, but uses a cache abstraction layer to allow for storing cached data in memcache or apc, or other cache platform.

### On-request page caching

[](#on-request-page-caching)

To use this module in a cache-on-request manner, please review the [GitHub Wiki](http://wiki.github.com/nyeholt/silverstripe-simplecache) - in short

- create a {project}/caches.conf.php based on simplecache/caches.conf.php
- add appropriate \_ss\_environment.php configuration pointing at {project}/caches.conf.php
- update your .htaccess file with `RewriteRule .* simplecache/frontend-cache.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]`
- ensure the top level directories exist for the configured cache locations
