Right now, if a plugin adds a cache, there is no way for a plugin author to include a rebuild/reload function for that cache.

I was looking at this last night, and there is an easy way to fix this. Currently the cache page checks if the method_exists in the cache class, all you need to do is add a function_exists check as well. This will allow plugin authors to include their own rebuild/reload function if they add their own cache.

Anyone agree with this suggestion?

I support this.

Definitely a +1 from me.

I really like this idea

If your plugin want to have a option "rebuild cache" we need to insert manually of function into a file inc/datacache.php like this:

function update_NameOfYourCache()
	{
	}

and that is the problem, editing of core files. We know how to do it, we want a way to have it part of the plugin directly

Do it! Do it! :p

I agree with you, and more good faq about making plugins and cache&task system
