I've made a module that needs to cache its output by country, or not at all. I've found this post which describes how to do it with a component, but how would you do it with modules?

To turn off cache completely, I've copied the relevant fields from XML config from mod_custom, set cache to off, and global cache to conservative. Still it caches.

Any tips welcome.

Edit: It seems a module is always cached when it's included within an article: https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=527208

First a comment on your last statement on embedded modules being always cached - our experience, in fact, shows the complete opposite. Our post is much more recent than the answer in the Joomla forum (the one on the Joomla forum is also for a very old version of Joomla - ours is for Joomla 3.x).

Now to answer your original question, you can always use the get and store methods of the JCache class. This way, you will be able to easily cache and retrieve your module's data.

  • Strange. Which version of Joomla are you using?

  • The post was about Joomla 3.x - not sure if this applies to the latest version though, but again, our post is much more recent than the post on the Joomla forum.
