Category Filter for SermonCast

I have tried to run that query against the database with odd results - it simply returns the demo sermon that has been deleted? obviously something wrong in my test run.

Any other thoughts?

The query in models/feed.php is the correct one. Caching may bypass the query depending on how the caching works. Eg if it stores the generated page in a file and reads from there. That would be something I can probably fix (read: disable). But before I fiddle with the caching I need to be sure it's caused by this

If you run the query directly, you need to replace the #__ with your actual Joomla database prefix, otherwise MySQL will not find any table. Other than that it should work. It should never show deleted sermons, as they have the state set to -2.

AND sermons.state != '-2'

should remove them from being shown. If the query doesn't work directly in the database, something definitively is wrong there.

Every cache may produce issues depending on how it is set up. However most I know are based on the URL, and this one would be different so it shouldn't be cached in theory.

I spoke to soon in my previous post - The issue is caching. After turning off the Joomla cache in global config-> system, the page refreshes. Not sure why it didn't start behaving that way immediately after turning off the cache. In any case, now it works.

Is this normal behavior - Can I disable cache for the feed without having to disable the global Joomla cache?

Thanks

Good to know then, thanks!
Unfortunately you can't disable caching for a single view. But the good news is: I can. I will have a look this evening and see if I can improve it. Best would be to not disable but make it work with the various categories.
Can you tell me which caching mode you had activated? Maybe I can reproduce it then.

There was a component called jotCache, with it you could have disabled, either whole component or a single layout, or a page. but i believe it got unpublished for some reason.

here is link. extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...formance/cache/13155

I have been able to use the progressive caching with other areas of the site. However even if I turn on the conservative caching, the problem with the feed not refreshing reappears.

Thanks
