Is there a way to turn down the caching in Silverstripe? Sometimes it's awfully stubborn and it becomes an inconvenience. I have some dynamic, non-CMS content on my homepage (a day countdown) that never gets updated unless the user does a hard refresh.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have access to the code right now, but imagine a homepage with some dynamic content from the CMS (latest blog entry), which is always accurate, and beside it, I have a countdown box that looks like this:

<h3>$Countdown days until we get married!</h3>

and in HomePage.php:

function Countdown()
{
$days = // calculate the number of days between now and the big day
return $days;

}

It's that $Countdown variable that seems really sticky. Gotta do a click-refresh every time.
