Hi everybody,

I am curious about if exist differences between "Clear cached data" and "caching mode". I have an issue related with a block (a view image/slider) in a website. That block not is updated when I change his content or when 1 hour has passed (the 'Minimum cache lifetime' is set to 1 hour) The change is: disable "Promoted to front page" to one node and enable "Promoted to front page" to other node. the only way to see that change is using "Clear cached data" (in Settings > Performance).

then, my question is: I can expected that this block must be updated when is meet the time indicated in the 'Minimum cache lifetime'? or these are two different functions ("Clear cached data" and "caching mode")? why this block is updated when I run "Clear cached data" and not when I do respective changes in "Promoted to front page" values?

maybe this information is useful:

Caching View: 0 sec/0 sec

in Settings>performance:
Cacnhing mode: Normal
Minimum cache lifetime: 1hour
Page compression: Enabled
Block cache: Disabled
Optimize CSS files: Enabled
Optimize JavaScript files: Disabled
Memcache.
Drupal 6.13.

Thanks in advance.
(sorry about my english)

Since you have set Minimum cache lifetime to 1hour, the cache will get clear only after 1 hour and anonymous users can see the updated page after 1 hour.

to get the updated content immediately after you change the node, you should go and manually clear the cached data. this is how drupal behaves when the lifetime set.
