I'm experiencing some crazy problems with caching of pages whilst I'm developing them. I have no idea where the problem might be - I've looked in all the most obvious places, and this is the first time I've developed a module so may be missing something obvious.

The problem is explained at:
http://drupal.org/node/20230

Basically, when I make changes to my module (or any file?), save it and refresh the browser the change isn't updated. However, if the menu module is turned on and I goto admin/menu then go back to the page I made the change to, suddenly its there. Its as though going to admin/menu triggers some cache to be lost or something. I've tried changing all cache settings and this still persists.

This is intentional. The modul estructure is expensive to build and thus cached. For development I recoemmend the devel modul ewhich allows emptying the cache table with one click.

Thank you for the prompt response. Module downloaded and installed and working as it should do.

Perhaps this should be better documented somewhere though?

Thanks again,

Jake.
