Customising Portal (css, web templates) - Cache Not Invalidating

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

We are trying to demo the portal to a customer.

Part of the demo will involve customising the look and feel of the portal meaning we need to tweak css files that exist as web files in CRM and also possibly tweak some of the web template records in CRM (add customer specific logos, fonts etc etc).


However, when we make changes to the css files/web templates in CRM - we still get the old values out on the portal, even if we manually invalidate the cache (using portalurl/cache.axd?message=invalidateall).

Is there a new method of invalidating the cache now?

If not - what could be causing these delays? We are talking hours here not seconds or even minutes.

We cannot possibly use the portal if there is no way for a developer to customise quickly.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. Is this the only way of invalidating the cache?

    I knew I could do it that way alright but stopping/restarting the portal every time is extremely time consuming if you are making a lot of custom tweaks to get layout and css etc right.

    There is  a lot of small tweaks to be made which need to be tested. If you need to restart the portal and wait for it to start up again every single time you make a small change it's going to be very difficult to style it in practice.

    Cheers for the response.
