I've placed a macro (containing a .Net usercontrol) in my base template. The contents of this control can change based on events on another web site / outside of Umbraco. Right now, no matter what I select for the macro cache settings, the control never changes.
How can I get that one control to never cache while the template can still be cached?
How does the control pull content from the other site? Is it possible that it's getting cached at that point rather than by the macro control? If you want to check if your macro is being loaded from the cache or not, add: ?umbDebugShowTrace=true t the end of your page URL. As long as you haven't switched it off in the web.config file, this will show the trace for the page, and you can scroll down and look for your macro. It should tell you in the trace whether its loading the control from the cache, or loading it completely!
Indeed, normally if you put the cache duration to 0 and uncheck all caching options, the macro should refresh every time. Hope you find more info from the trace.
Usercontrol in master template cached, not dynamic

Hi Connie,

Hope that helps.
