"Clear Cache" function

Hi all,

Just wondering if it's possible to have a "clear cache" function on a website? Is it possible to clear just that particular website or does the entire history get wiped?

I ask because I want my visitors to be able to reset what links they have visited on the site. So if there is any other suggestions to achieve this, they would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

 I don't think there is such a plugin available. Visitors/Users can clear their browser's cache, but this will delete the day's (or month's, if they prefer) browsing history and information for all websites visited, not just a single one. In Firefox and Chrome , they can do a "force refresh" or go to their profiles and delete individual cookies there.

 Hi,

You could setup the link color so that the visited link did not appear in default purple and therefore links would always look the same. Not sure if this is your reasoning.

 Yes esolutions, I understand now what the OP was on about, use CSS to control the link styles

a:link {color:#FF0000;} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link */

Visited link is the colour you want to make the same as an unvisited link

 Yeah, I'd say the best bet would be to wrap your links and store which ones have been clicked by what visitor, then give them the option to clean out their history. Then you can program it to color the links based on their history.
