[PHPTAL] Cache options from PHP

[Werner]

Hi!

This should be fairly easy. You can set caching as a per-element 
condition (if I understand your approach correctly) and cache it 
accordingly by making use of  tal:condition.

E.g, try something like this:

...in your code:

$instance->cache_h3 = true;

...and in your template (note the use of "not" in the second block):

<tal:block tal:condition="cache_h3" phptal:cache="3h">
    ... caching h3 template stuff...
<tal:block>

<tal:block tal:condition="not:cache_h3" >
    ... un-cached h3 template stuff...
<tal:block>

The only disadvantage to this approach is template markup duplication 
(if content is not much different between the cached and un-cached blocks).

This is a quick-and-dirty way to get it done. Maybe someone has a better 
idea?

Kind Regards,
Werner
