Drupal Cache Form



Caching is a frequent topic of discussion when attempting to make Drupal, or any modern web application, fast. Drupal relies on database tables to cache content such as markup by default. While this is certainly better than not caching, the database is a major choke-point that we would like to bypass to speed up the serving of pages. Drupal caching tools and their use As mentioned above, the Drupal cache is stored in a database table. However, our content management system distributes cash and divides it into certain segments, each of which is in a separate table with an individual name. Yes, the form cache was disabled. Otherwise the hook would have fired the first time. But this means that the validation handler validates a version of the form other than what was on the actual page seen by the user. This seems like a bug.

This is a very simple tutorial that could help you with the performance of your custom modules. I will show you how to use Cache API in Drupal 8 and Drupal 7. You don't have to perform heavy calculations every time you need to pull data either from third-party API or from database. Instead run it once and cache it. Cache form Drupal change expire time.

The Varnish HTTP cache is truly an amazing bit of software that can help take the performance and responsiveness of your high-traffic website to the next level. According to the developers behind Varnish, the reverse-proxy cache can speed up page delivery by a factor of at least 300 times that of a similar server that doesn’t use Varnish to serve cached HTML. Varnish is highly configurable yet fairly simple to install and set up for most use cases, making it an ideal addition to any high-performance web platform.

Clear Drupal Cache

Drupal developers may have encountered some woes when adding Varnish to their stack, however, such as the need to integrate a method of purging nodes and other pages when critical content is added or updated – for example, adding a breaking story to the homepage of a news outlet. One lesser-known hangup comes into play when Varnish is used to cache a page containing a Drupal FAPI form that uses ajax to validate or submit. Within both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8, all forms are cached for a hard-coded timespan of six hours. If the page containing your ajax form is cached for longer than six hours, Varnish will continue to serve form markup containing a stale form build ID, which will inevitably cause submissions to fail with no indication or work-around for the end user.

Drupal

Fear not, however! With the help of one of the several modules which integrate Drupal with a Varnish cache server, it is possible to force the URLs of your pages containing an ajax form to be purged from the HTTP cache – before the form build ID expires – thereby avoiding the problem altogether. Perhaps the most straightforward way to achieve this is to use a Drupal module like Advanced Page Expiration to send an alternative cache-lifetime header that is shorter than your default (and shorter than the six-hour form-cache lifetime). Another option is to leverage the Purge module and force the necessary URLs to be removed from the cache upon a specific event such as when page content is updated, during a cron run, or perhaps even upon an unsuccessful form submission due to an invalid form build ID (although this would have the obvious downside of allowing at least one submission to fail). The Purge module also has several versions in the works for Drupal 8, so it’s a good choice if you’re using the latest and greatest Drupal.

An interface for condition plugins.

Drupal 7 Cache_form

Condition plugins are context-aware and configurable. They support the following keys in their plugin definitions:

  • context: An array of context definitions, keyed by context name. Each context definition is a typed data definition describing the context. Check the typed data definition docs for details.
  • configuration: An array of configuration option definitions, keyed by option name. Each option definition is a typed data definition describing the configuration option. Check the typed data definition docs for details.

@todo Replace the dependency on DrupalCoreFormFormInterface with a new interface from https://www.drupal.org/node/2006248. @todo WARNING: The condition API is going to receive some additions before release. The following additions are likely to happen:

  • The way configuration is handled and configuration forms are built is likely to change in order for the plugin to be of use for Rules.
  • Conditions will receive a data processing API that allows for token replacements to happen outside of the plugin implementations, see https://www.drupal.org/node/2347023.
  • Conditions will have to implement access control for checking who is allowed to configure or perform the action at https://www.drupal.org/node/2172017.
