Add a template tag that allows for partial caching of templates

[deric <deric@…>]

See: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/5631d13a9d114083/40cd671d71762905?lnk=raot#40cd671d71762905

This is a nice idea. Just wanted to make sure this one was captured.

Moving Ian Maurer's post in the group discussion to this ticket since it's a great patch. Probably needs some documentation and then it's good to go.

Approving due to Adrian's comment in the discussion.

{% load fragment_caching %}
{% cache <exptime> <name> [id args..] %}

For instance...

{% load fragment_caching %}
{% cache 500 sidebar object.id %}
    .. sidebar for object ..
{% endcache %}

Combined patches and added some tests.

Renamed template library to 'cache'

[nick.lane.au@…]

I figured the name 'fragment_caching' was a bit redundant for the template library since all caching within templates will be fragment caching (but maybe it's just me).

(In [6580]) Fixed #1065 -- Added a "cache" template tag. Thanks, Ian Maurer and, particularly, Nick Lane.

Unusable, seem to give Unicode errors as soon as you have to do with real non-ascii characters. Was this thoroughly tested?

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

Can you please give an example of how to make it fail?

[anonymous]

Hum... for the moment it seems the problem is magically gone. But I swear nothing worked after adding it and it gave Unicode errors :/

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

Well, if/when you can repeat the problem, please reopen the ticket (don't just add a comment), with details. A small example, plus details of what cache you are using will be required so that we can repeat the problem.

Improved tag to accept time as variable

[zz <zodizz@…>]

Somehow the idea of having cache time spread all over the place seems a bit cluttering especially if you use the tag more frequently throughout templates. Having the timeout in a single variable is helpful.

The patch allows the timeout to be a template variable and also adds some extra tests.

[Chris Beaven]

ZZ, this is new functionality, so belongs in a new ticket. Please open a new ticket for this new functionality and attach your patch to that :)
