php - Disable template caching for development in OpenCart 3

Question

I am making changes in my theme templates in OpenCart 3. Due to template caching I have to clear cache every time under "storage/cache" directory. It is very annoying when working and previewing changes frequently during development. Please provide some solution how we can configure caching according to production and development environment.

Note: I have already searched for solutions online but there is no solution related to template caching. Solutions are available to disable image caching but "Image Caching" and "Template Caching" are different features provided in Opencart.

Answer 1

You might need to upgrade to a more recent version of OpenCart3 - the first one (3.0.0.0) didn't have a way of doing this in the GUI.

More recent versions, such as 3.0.2.0, have a gear on the admin dashboard. Click the gear and you get options to disable caching.
