Panel autocomplete URI speed

bnomei · July 19, 2017, 8:03am

in one of my projects i (mis)use kirby to store tickets. that generates a lot of pages. as a result the panel autocompletion using $site->index() here i guess makes the panel seem unresponsive when entering uris. is there any way to apply caching to index()? I would not shy away from hacking the panel code.

disabling would be an option if i can control it per blueprint/template. but it seems not to be available.

i would like to create a per session cache devalidated only if pages are created/moved/deleted but not when edited. like serialising the php object. the current cache-array is just for one page call.

getkirby/kirby/blob/fe9d8c5e70a3d73a41e3f3e10cb0fb62fc3a2611/core/children.php#L180


/**
 * Creates a clean one-level collection with all
 * pages, subpages, subsubpages, etc.
 *
 * @param object Pages object for recursive indexing
 * @return Children
 */
public function index(Children $obj = null) {


  if(is_null($obj)) {
    if(isset($this->cache['index'])) return $this->cache['index'];
    $this->cache['index'] = new Children($this->page);
    $obj = $this;
  }


  foreach($obj->data as $key => $page) {
    $this->cache['index']->data[$page->uri()] = $page;
    $this->index($page->children());
  }


  return $this->cache['index'];

i do not want to enable default filebased cache like described here in my attemt to improve speed of index() even when using ignore [*].

so how can i switch to session cache? that one is not the default filebased one, right?

maybe @distantnative can tell me. sorry for calling you directly into this thread.

Like this:

c::set('cache.driver', 'session');

oh yes. silly me. thanks @lukasbestle

sessions are one file per session (unless memcached explicitly) but thats ok in my case i guess.

is there any way to check within the index() if its called from panel? i do not want index() caching for frontend (yet).

That would be:

if(function_exists('panel')) { ... }
