Utilize WP Object Caching about pods HOT 4 CLOSED

I need the code needed to add/update/delete transients, object caches (w3 total cache / wp super cache compatible with memcache etc), and any other WP API's for that type of stuff.

As far as plugin collision, you'll see as I explain throughout, object caching won't interfere, and database caching we can prefix each key. WP Super cache is file-based as far as I can tell (generates static html files for later use), and W3 doesn't seem to have information on how to work alongside them.

So I mean we'll have to decide on what we want to use with object caching and what to use for database caching, or if we just want to stick with one. One thing to point out about transient caching is you can set/get sitewide transients for WPMU networks. Obviously we'll want to create some form of wrapper for our caching system in order to handle the inner workings of user preferences on caching if we decide to do that.

As for object caching, the nice thing about avoiding conflicts is the keys can be used across multiple "groups", and you use the group to set/get the cache keys. Essentially letting us use very common keys, like 'post' or 'user', without having to worry about conflicting with anything else because we'll most likely set a group of pods_plugin or something.

First example is using transients, second is object caching, and the third discusses some possibilities for clearing cache of pods.

0a48014 introduces the new PodsView class, which handles get/set/clear of wp_cache, transients, and site transients. It also has template inclusion built in so you can call this to include a sidebar and cache it for 12000 seconds ('cache' is default cache_mode, 'transient' and 'site-transient' are also available, but you really should have a persistent cache plugin to utilize this to the maximum)

pods_view( 'includes/sidebar.php', compact( $any, $var, $you, $want, $passed ), 12000 );

That compact() function lets you put any variables you want to pass, which isn't included in a normal get_template_part() call in WP.

Transients / Caching now in use within PodsAPI. Needs to be implemented into Pods class next for simple caching of normal queries.
