The ResetOpCache plugin for Moodle enables administrators to reset PHP's OpCache from within Moodle. This can be useful when making changes to PHP code on an existing Moodle site where you don't have any other way of resetting an existing opcache.
This will also reset Moodle's own cache at the same time.
This plugin requires Moodle 2.5+ from http://moodle.org .
The initial public BETA version was released on 2016-12-19.
For information on releases since then, see CHANGELOG.md.
Install the plugin, like any other plugin, to the following folder:
/local/resetopcache
See http://docs.moodle.org/32/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins.
There are no special considerations required for updating the plugin.
Uninstalling the plugin by going into the following:
Home > Administration > Site Administration > Plugins > Manage plugins > Reset OPCache
...and click Uninstall. You may also need to manually delete the following folder:
/local/resetopcache
There are no configurable settings for this plugin.
The local_resetopcache plugin is designed allow administrators to purge the Moodle Cache and reset PHP's cache, if it is enabled.
Once installed, login as a Moodle administrator and then click:
Home > Site Administration > Server > Reset OPCache
Note: Once you use this feature, accessing your website may seem a little slow the first time you access a page until the caches are recreated. This is perfectly normal.
There are no known security considerations at this time.
The development of this plugin was motivated through our own experience in Moodle development and is supported by TNG Consulting Inc.
This plugin has yet to been tested with PHP 7.0 or later.
