Rick,

Running RC1 and found that the top posters island, the post count is short by 2 of the real post count. Seems its out somewhere.

See from a post:

Now from the top posters island:
Top Posters
7186
Webmaster
7082
ScanDesk

What is interesting it is who posts LAST is effected. Scandesk was 2 behind in his post count until I did my post.

Somehow its not fully updating until someone posts. I have not determined if you have to be a top poster (I have set for 10), but we have posts and it only seems to refresh once a top 10 person posts.

However if you in the portal settings have always build ticked on, it updates...

So should always build be ticked on for everything you use in the portal?

According to the settings it should NOT have to be ticked on..

"If you have an island that you want to use somewhere on your site, but not on the portal check the 'Always Build' option. Otherwise the island will not be built if it isn't in your portal setting."

I am using the portal and its two off until I always build and its okay.

Cheers,

David

This data is cached, and only updated after the cache expires, not with each post. Cache time is set in the Portal Settings of the control panel.

This could be due to cacheing.. the post counts update in intravals.

Its set to a 5 minute update (top 10 posters) but its been 15 minutes since I posted, the count was 2 behind.

However as soon as I forced always build my count went up by two and equals the true count.

I know it is cached, I saw this as the post count in top 10 jumped each refresh, but it goes up to the actual count less two.

But as its a portal use, it should not have to be forced to always build?

This is why I thought it was a bug... My co-admin noticed the same thing..

You don't have to use the always build. What happens, anytime you make any changes to the portal settings, the cache is flushed and rebuilt, so it would have updated if you would have just cleared your cache as well.

More than likely it was just timing. If you post and the cache expiration hasn't been reached it won't rebuild. Once the cache expiration has reached it won't rebuild again until another action is triggered to rebuild the cache, in this case someone making a post.

It's a bit misleading in how the cache works. It doesn't auto build every 5 minutes when it's set to 5 minutes. It's all triggered by user interaction. If nobody posts on your site for a half-hour the cache won't be rebuilt for a half-hour.

Rick,

No perfectly clear, that is what it was looking like... Its just the text is a bit misleading, now its clear.

We just tested. I added one post and it did not show. Someone posted and it increased (they were not a top 10 poster).

Thanks, just thought it was a bug by the text explanation of the portal settings.

Maybe it can in the final have a short footnote added?

Cheers,

David
