Description

With Cache Cleaner you can clean your cache fast and easily via a link in your Joomla! Administrator!

If you are editing an article - for instance - and want to see the changes in the frontend, you first have to clean the cache.

Normally this means having to go to the Joomla! Cache Manager, select all cache types and delete them. This is very irritating and needs a lot of clicks and waiting time.

Cache Cleaner gives you a quick link in the top right of your Joomla! Administrator (status bar) which will clean all cache by simply clicking on it. It doesn't need to reload the page either, because it uses ajax to do this in the background.

PS: I know, I know, there is next to no documentation besides what you see here. Sorry... still have to write more on this. If you have any questions, please just ask me via the forum.

Browser Cache?

Cache Cleaner only cleans the cache in your website, saved by Joomla! or a 3rd party extension.

It does not clean the browsers cache (because it is impossible to do). So you will still have to clean your browsers cache manually if you need it cleaned.

FAQ's

Will Cache Cleaner clean JRE cache too?

• Yes, it will

Can I clean the cache from the frontend?

• Yes, you can
  You can set a secret word in Cache Cleaner's System Plugin settings. Then you can use that in the url to clean the cache, like:
  http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?cleancache=your_word
  http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_content&...&cleancache=your_word
  So you can just add it to any url (within your website of course). The second url is an example of a url that already contains a '?'. So then you need to use a '&'.

Will Cache Cleaner clean the browsers cache too?

• No, it will not!
  Cache Cleaner does not clean the browsers cache (because it is impossible to do). So you will still have to clean your browsers cache manually if you need it cleaned.
