For those of you that are aware of my moderator center, atleast the new version, it requires that it's cache is part of the global cache's. In index.php there is a line which lists and combines cache names to load. To include my cache as a global cache, its name has to be included... Or so I thought.

Here's the idea: Add a column to the cache_store table called "cs_global". If a cache has this set to "1" then it means it must be loaded as a global cache, and if set to "0" it means it will be loaded when the module loaded (as normal). So then when IPB loads the global cache's you can have it load all the cache's with that value set to 1, rather than by the specific names.

So like (where the extra1 and extra2 represent cache's loaded when a specific module is loaded):



So if IPB loads it's global cache's this way, then all you would have to do for your custom module is set cs_global to 1 on your custom cache, if you need it loaded as a global cache

I rather like this idea, more inviting to abuse than requiring a modification to the source files, but customers are less likely to screw up a file if several mods need to add global caches, which would mean edits to the same line.
