Manual app refresh confirmation

[a.slyzhko]

Hi there!

I've noticed that when I make changes to our CRM instance (e.g., modifying custom front-end views), our users sometimes don't see the updates right away because they don't frequently reload pages. I'm wondering if there's a way to add a button to the admin panel that, when clicked, displays a banner on users' screens instructing them to reload the page, just like after extension load. I'm familiar with customizing views and can add this button to the admin panel, but I need to know what action to call when the button is clicked. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there,

You can use the command

php command.php update-app-timestamp

(https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...-app-timestamp) in order to display the modal to the currently logged users. And most importantly, "clear the JS/TPL cache".

You could add a custom made button inside your Espo admin that would call an AJAX that will call

updateAppTimestamp() 

inside the

application/Espo/Core/DataManager.php
