PP 5.13 > 5.2 : successfull upgraded
 

Hi !
I just upgraded my galeries and I had no big problem.
I got some queries errors but it was due to my header file that etablished MySQL connexions and conflicted with PP, so I had to force to open new connexions like that :
So I suggest to everyone who has upgrade problems to remove custom header and footer files.

I just have a question about this new version : what is exactly the new parameter "Use photo view caching to reduce view update queries on high load sites" ?
Should I enable this feature ?
Thanks :)

It's enabled by default (set to 10 minutes) and will not show as much of an improvement on smaller sites, but does reduce queries on the main index page and results in much faster load times for larger sites.

Hi Michael,
I have the following option that is set by default to 10 minutes :
"Minutes to cache index page data for featured photos, statistics and PALs?"

But there is another option, disabled by default :
Use photo view caching to reduce view update queries on high load sites?
Set this to YES if you want to enable the view caching code which caches photo view updates
What is exactly "photo view caching" and "view update queries" ?
Thanks :)

Two separate items

Basically photo view cache cache's photo views so we are not writing a query to the database every time a photo is viewed

Now the other is the new cache system to load things faster. It loads the entire front page from a cache table instead of using double the queries and grabbing all the data so it saves time and queries
