"Smart Caching" is my try to make the caching process a little bit more inteligent and i've made it on the example of 1ssBlog. It allow the entries to be cached and de-cached automatically based on how often they are viewed.

How it work:
We set the period of time (1 day, 1 hour or 1 minute) and the number of unique views that should happen in that period of time in order the entry to get cached automatically.
So, if we set the period to 1 hour and the number of views to 30, then as soon as an entry will be viewd 30 times in a period of the specified length, the entry will get cached. But if after some time the entry will not get enough views in a period of specified length, the entry will de removed from the cache automaticaly.

Nice and easy, huh? But it make the caching process flexible.

I would like to hear of others think about it.

This updater fix some bugs and:

• add a couple of new Addons: StatCounter; Google Analytics; Popularity Meter; Rating System.
• make possible to specify the length of the entry on the main page, including "full entry"
• allow caching particular static pages for a particular time
• allow caching particular entries for a particular time
• "Smart Caching" added. This allow the entries to be cache and de-cached automatically based on how often it has been viewd in the specified period.
• new tagCloud pod is presented

It may be not so big for someone, but even if what i did was usefull for at least 10% of the downloads, i would still consider it a success.
