I have a drop down used to filter entries on a weblog’s homepage using dynamic parameters.  Currently, the homepage shows the latest 30 entries, but you can use the dropdowns to filter entries like location and restaurant.

Problem is, when somebody filters the entries, the homepage shows those filtered results to everyone (it should revert to the latest 30 entries).

I thought it was a cache issue but I turned off and cleared all caching.

Does anybody have ideas?

You can see what I mean here:

Can you show us a little more, some code, perhaps?

Are you sure you have disabled all caches? Template caching, query caching… ?

Also, what version and build of EE are you using?

Here is the code:

<form method="post" action="{path="city_guide"}">

<select name="search:file_under">
<option value="#">Choose Establishment</option>
<option value="Bar">Bar</option>
<option value="Flea Market">Flea Markets</option>
<option value="Music Equipment">Music Equipment</option>
<option value="Random Awesomeness">Random Awesomeness</option>
<option value="Record Store">Record Stores</option>
<option value="Restaurant">Restaurants</option>
<option value="Thrift Store">Thrift Stores</option>
</select>

<select name="category">
     <option value="#">Choose Location</option>
{exp:textnest fill="  "}
{exp:weblog:categories weblog="City_Guide" style="nested"  show_empty="no"}
<option value='{category_id}'>{category_name}</option>
{/exp:weblog:categories}     
{/exp:textnest}
              </select>

<input type="submit" value="Go!" />

</form>

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="City_Guide" dynamic_parameters="search:file_under|category" limit="30" disable="trackbacks"}

{if no_results}
There are no spots like this currently in the database.
{/if}

Result code here

{/exp:weblog:entries}

I have the query caching turned on and template caching turned off.

Thanks.

Hi soulstrut,

Which version and build of EE are you running?

I’m definitely seeing what you’re talking about. But since there’s no POST data being sent when the results repopulate the same way (instead of reverting to default) there’s got to be some server-side caching mechanism still in play here.

I’m using 1.6.8.  Thanks.

soulstrut,

I have the query caching turned on and template caching turned off.

Can you turn off query caching for now.

Clear your cache via the control panel and then manually clear your cache by deleting every folder in /system/cache/ except for index.html

See if that clean-out has made a difference
