How to disable caching when developing locally?

Post by singi »

I edited the HTML file, but I had to clear the cache every time to see the effect. Now I want to disable caching. Or is there a better way to deal with it?

Creating & Modifying Styles / Tips & Tricks

Use automatic template recompiling (during development)
While making changes to template files, it's often handy to be able to see the changes directly, without having to purge your forum cache every time. A neat little trick is to recompile templates automatically after every file change.

Browse to: ACP > General > Server configuration > Load settings and set:
"Recompile stale style components": Yes

done!
