vb.org Archive - CMS Widget Caching, still running query on every refresh

I've created a PHP Direct Execution CMS Widget with this code to count the number of donating members:

Code:

global $vbulletin;



$cmember = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("SELECT count(*) as num

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user

WHERE user.usergroupid IN (9) OR FIND_IN_SET(9, membergroupids)");



$cmembers= $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($cmember);



$content = array('cmembers' => $cmembers[num]); 



vB_Template::preRegister('vbcms_widget_mywidget',$content);

Works great, except I set a 5 minute refresh cache, but every time I load the CMS, the debugger shows this query being run:

Code:

SELECT count(*) as num

FROM vbuser AS user

WHERE user.usergroupid IN (9) OR FIND_IN_SET(9, membergroupids)

Shouldn't this query only be running every 5 minutes? Right now, it's running on every single refresh, even just seconds later.

Thanks!

This was my own stupid fault. I just pasted in the plugin code, didn't actually set the variable to $output, which the widget instructions told me to do :)

Basically changed to this:

Code:

global $vbulletin;



$cmember = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("SELECT count(*) as num

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user

WHERE user.usergroupid IN (9) OR FIND_IN_SET(9, membergroupids)");



$cmembers= $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($cmember);



$output = array('cmembers' => $cmembers[num]); 



vB_Template::preRegister('vbcms_widget_mywidget',$output);
