I am currently looking for a way to manage the Django cache from the administration (having the possibility to turn it off, turn it on, or leave it on with a timeout of 8 hours).
I have tried to use for this the django cache framework, with 3 buttons in the administration to different functions that turn off, activate or modify the cache timeout with no results (the cache remains activated with no possibility to turn it off or modify its timeout).
I tried to use a script that restarts the server once one of these options is chosen, but it doesn't work as it should (this must happen because I can't dynamically modify the settings.py file).
First I create two buttons in the admin panel
<a href="/caching/turn_on_cache/">
<button class="btn btn-success">Turn on cache for 8 hours</button>
</a>
<a href="/caching/turn_off_cache/">
<button class="btn btn-danger">Turn off cache</button>
</a>
Then, I add the two views for set up cache
from django.shortcuts import redirect
from django.core.cache import cache
from django.contrib import messages
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def turn_on_cache(request):
cache.set('cache', True, 60*60*8)
logging.info(cache.get('cache')) ->>> This return True
messages.success(request, "Cache turned on for 8 hours")
return redirect('admin:index')
def turn_off_cache(request):
cache.set('cache', False, 60*60*8)
logging.info(cache.get('cache')) ->>> This return false
messages.success(request, "Cache turned off")
return redirect('admin:index')
But when I see the django-debug-toolbar the system keeps making sql queries
my settings.py
DEBUG = True
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
#'waffle.middleware.WaffleMiddleware',
"debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware",
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache',
'LOCATION': 'my_cache_table',
'TIMEOUT': 604800 # 7 days
}
}
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ALIAS = 'default'
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS = 60
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX = ''
Any different approach to this problem?
Thanks in advance
