Description
FLIR images are not being cached by FF3 or IE7, in other words, the same images are re-downloaded on every page load. Can anything be done about this?
#1
I can confirm there is no caching in the Drupal 6 version of this module.

Hi
This is a great module and one I am using heavily for a new site, particularly the front page. The site is visibly slow given the generated images are downloaded. Any plans for caching in future releases?
Cheers

I think I may have solved this issue in the version i'm running internally, I'll post my version as the full release in the next few weeks (works starting to die down and these modules become higher priority). Whatever I changed it does appear to take advantage of the image caching mechanism that the current version does not. Glad you like the module though!
#4
Cheers, looking forward to it. Keep up the great work!
#5
Is there any way we could get a dev version sooner? :)
#6
Try this maybe till I can release something.

Personally I like this solution better but it's dev for the 6 branch.

Hi
Just wondering if you had made any progress on the caching issue? I am just about to release a new site and would like to hold off until I have some idea if a fix was possible.
I have tried to use text image but it is not a patch on Flir ;)
#8
lol I see that it is not. I'll be hit or miss the next two weeks, it's in the queue though. Fixing the Outline Designer D6 module right now (bit higher priority atm).

:)
May the force be with you, I will wait for an update,
Cheers
#10
try the new version that's out, it might take care of it.
#11
I'm afraid caching is still not working for me, instead it seems to just be generating A LOT of cache images and then doesn't use them.
#12
I cannot tell if caching is working
Images are not being generated in IE though.
#13
odd... well, personally I've switched over to textimage as it's more flexible in implementing directly into themes / other modules. Flir's good for on the fly stuff if you don't want to have to explain how to do the replacements to people but textimage is really good (and not browser dependent). http://drupal.org/project/textimage

I'd like the cache issue to be resolved as well.
@btopro: if you're using textimage these days and do not intend on updating issues for flir, perhaps mark the module as abandoned and let someone else pick it up and support it. It's a great module and I appreciate all your work, but lazy people who could assist, won't unless they know the module isn't actively being maintained.
