Static Publisher - pagesAffectedByChanges()
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=staticpublisher

Will someone be so kind and show me an example of setting so when I publish ArticlePage, both ArticleHolder & HomePage get rebuilt too.

I did find an example where every page get's rebuilt when any page is published, but it seemed a little slow on a site with a lot of pages.

thank you

I'm pretty sure all you just need to return an array of urls to recache. So for example

function pagesAffectedByChanges($original = null) {
	$urls[] = ""; // update the homepage
	$urls[] = $this->Parent()->Link(); // update the parent page (article holder)
	$urls[] = $this->Link(); // this page
	
	return $urls; // pass it back
}

Thanks willr for the help,

If I need it for any other page, do I just refer to it's class name?

function pagesAffectedByChanges($original = null) { 
   $urls[] = "LinksPage";   
}

The example code has some array_merge in there , do I not need to do that?

if($p = $this->Parent) $urls = array_merge((array)$urls, (array)$p->subPagesToCache());

And I'm not understanding what the $original is doing?

No, $urls takes an array of URLs you would like to cache.

And I'm not understanding what the $original is doing?

$original is the previous saved state of the page this is useful for doing your own custom detection. For example depending on fields that have changed (eg $URLSegment is different), the pages that have been affected by that change could be different.

The example code has some array_merge in there

You would only need to do that if you needed to merge 2 arrays. That code you posted has another function subPagesToCache() which needs to have its values merged with the current function.
