I see that it is possible to clear the whole cache with the action method _break_cache. But is it also possible to clear particular tags associated with channel Entries? Saw this action _break_entry_cache. Will look at the code and see if I can get it working, but it would be quicker if the bold minded team can tell me directly.

I am trying to get the cache cleared when a user reorders posts using low_reorder addon. They have these extension hook which I was going to use: https://eeharbor.com/low-reorder/documentation/extension_hooks

Thanks for the help. You guys are always so responsive and love the add-ons.

Thanks.

I think you would first need to get the entry_ids based on the tag, and make the request to the ACT url that corresponds to the _break_entry_cache() method, e.g. site.com/?ACT=123&ids=1|2|3|4

Cool, from what I can see, if I only have one entry from the channel added, there than that will clear the tag associated in the cache clearing rules. So, for my purposes, the call site.com/?ACT=123&ids=1|2|3|4 would achieve the same thing as site.com/?ACT=123&ids=1 given that the entry_id is in the desired channel.

Am I wrong?

Thanks

That sounds about right.

Cool, that gives me a good path forward.
