[Cartoweb-users] ignoring the map result cache

[Oliver Christen]

why not directly modify the getMap function from MapResultCache.php and 
simply check if some parameter is set in $_REQUEST which would have the same 
result as skipCache, being return 
$this->getMapResultFromServer($mapRequest);

and have the edit plugin set with javascript some parameter in a hidden 
field or so when the user add/modify/delete a feature with the dhtml

that way you dont have to call a method, beside I think the method call 
would happen too late in the execution flow, as the caching system is quite 
low level
