I’ve upgraded to
Version 7.9.0
Sugar Version 6.5.24 (Build 509)
what I’ve noticed is that ( unlike the sugar environment that I am used to ) there are no *.tpl files created in cache.
/var/www/html/cache/modules/Accounts/*View.tpl
I am making changes to the detailview in studio and the changes are being reflected on the frontend, so looks like all is working - I just didn’t know if this is they way things are meant to be. Or if there is going to be a problem and I just haven’t found it yet!
Is this normal for new suitecrm ?
Hi
I don’t think you need to worry about files if you don’t see functionality problems.
I checked my 7.9 install and I also don’t have tpl files in the cache directory.
The theme is new and uses a different technology, maybe tpl files are not needed in the same way, or not cached in the same way.
Hi,
Thanks, good to know its not just my install … but yeah I need to know if as you say theme no longer uses tpl files
I have a module (JetMobile) that not working because its looking for files in the cache.
So may not be suite CRM compatible!
What else is not compatible ? Need to understand how things work, especially open source projects!
*** Can anyone from suite tell me if this is a way forward in suiteCRM or just an oversite in the 7.9 release, and will be changed going next release ?
SuiteP is a way forward, SuiteCRM is not going back to the previous model. It does need to improve SuiteP in a number of areas, but they are well aware of that.
But the content of cache folders is NOT an area that needs concern. There is absolutely no commitment from the extension model in SuiteCRM regarding the cache contents. If an add-on or a module relies on that, it’s doing it wrong. That’s just not how you extend SuiteCRM.
Read this discussion to see the amount of complexity that can go into caching, and how easily it could change:

Caching is an optimization mechanism. It is not data storage or database… It’s supposed to be transparent to developers and users.
