Cache for everybody except staff members.
- by Oli
I have a django site where I want to stick an "admin bar" along the top of every non-admin page for staff members. It would contain useful things like page editing tools, etc.
The problem comes from me using the @cache_page decorator on lots of pages. If a normal user hits a page, the cached version comes up without the admin bar (even for admin users) and if an admin hits the page first, normal users see the admin bar.
I could tediously step through the templates, adding regional cache blocks but there are a lot of templates, and life is altogether too short.
Ideally, there would be a way of telling the caching to ignore cache get/set requests from admin users... But I don't know how to best implement that.
How would you tackle this problem?
