Great, gonna install this one later. Thanks

OK, i've just installed this hack http://bbs.ofdan.net/php-odp.php it was nice and easy to install, and run, the only problem I find with it is that it takes a while for the front page to load up, which is a shame because I should image that it's going to be the most used page...

If you can find a way of speeding this up (even if you just use static html for the front page) I would apprechate it.

Hack has been updated to include caching.

To upgrade just replace the new versions of php-odp.php and php-odp.include.php

To configure the caching support please study the new vars contained inside php-odp.include.php, by default only the main page will be cached for 1 day this maybe altered however.

Change
$odp['cache']['base_dir'] = "./";
to contain the path to the directory you want to use to hold the cached files
eg
$odp['cache']['base_dir'] = "/home/<blah>/cache";
