To change a course section name, I changed the "course_sections" table data (the "name" and the "summary" field values), through the Moodle MySQL database, in a local environment (localhost), but the change is not reflected on the web browser (Google Chrome on Windows 8).
I have cleared the web browser's cookies and cache, but Moodle still shows the old course section name. How to make Moodle show the new data on the web browser?
The database change will be shown in the web site after you clear the moodle cache.
The purgecaches.php script is in the administration menu.
site administration -> development->Purge all caches
@Miri Hefetz : Thanks, it works
@Miri Hefetz : Do you know how to disable this cache by default? Because I need the viewer to see the new data directly after the change, without having to purge all caches
This discussion seems to have one solution for your case, without disabling the cache:
Thanks. I looked into the "course" folder, but I didn't find the "modinfo" file. I found a "$modinfo" variable in "course/lib.php", then I set the value to "NULL", but the cache still exists (Moodle still shows the old data on the web browser after refreshing the web browser). Did I not set it correctly?
You can call the function
rebuild_course_cache($courseid, $trye);
The URL of my course web page is http://localhost/moodle/course/view.php?id=2, so I guess the course id is 2.
On the "lib.php", I added the following code at the end:
if($_REQUEST['action']=="rebuild_course_cache")
{
rebuild_course_cache(2, true);
}
Then to run the rebuild_course_cache($courseid, true) function, I inputted the following URL on the web browser:
http://localhost/moodle/course/lib.php?action=rebuild_course_cache
But it doesn't rebuild the course cache (Moodle still shows the old course section name on the web browser). Did I run the rebuild_course_cache($courseid, true) function wrongly?
Hi Bayu - please don't post the same request in multiple places.

Hi Davo,
Sorry... Thanks for the answer.
