Love that diff format.
If we actually process the style sheet through Serendipity, couldn't we just add the "no-cache" directive to the HTTP header? Or make the cache expiration time a couple of seconds?

We could do that, but that would make stylesheets non-cacheable alltogether...

I'm having a slightly different problem with the template dropdown. I've set the permissions for the sidebar to Judebert only, but it's still visible to all visitors. I've only just noticed that, although the event plugins have user permission dropdowns, there's no way to change them to anything but "All Authors".

Judebert: The "permissions" dropdown isjust for giving users the privilege to EDIT the plugin configuration.
You need to check the checkbox and hitthe"SAVE" button below for those changestoapply. [sorry,my spacekey is broken]
What you seem tobe looking for is the "sidebarhider" plugin, whichcan hide sidebars depending on specific users...?

I've got a keyboard with that problem. Biggest PITA in my life until I replaced it.
And, since I've worked on the sidebarhider, you'd think I would know this stuff.
Thanks.
I've still got a problem with permissions on the event plugin, though; I choose Judebert, I click save, and it's back to "All Authors".
Hmmm.

Did you check the checkbox of the plugin on the left?

Okay, I'm going to stop acting stupid now.
Sigh.

I agree though that it is a bit uncool, regarding the interface usability.
Maybe I can figure out a way to work around those checkboxes for saving differences in permissions...

I believe the problem is only partly fixed. Let's say template A is my default template and I'm visiting my category 1. After this I'm visiting category 2. Now I'm changing the template via the template changer to template B. The template changes immediately to B. But if I'm visiting category 1 now again, template B gets confused with former template A and only F5 helps.
Any solution?

Hi!
Sadly that browser caching could only be circumvented by sending non-cachable HTTP headers, which would then affect the whole blog not supporting backward/forward navigation.
I feel the impact of being able to choose templates faster is less important than having properly cachable pages that reduce the load on your webserver and not make visitors render the whole page again when they browse your pages...
Best regards,
