Also; What method should I invoke on the cache manager for maximum performance? Must I invalidate everything? (there are many methods for invalidation of folders, users, comments, etc...) I just want to invalidate enough to have my model displayed properly. Thanks in advance.

Hi Fredrik, To make your own object available in Roller scripts here's what you do: 1) Have your object implement the Roller interface "PageModel" 2) In your roller-custom.properties file, override these properties. For each, you'll have to replicate the original list of classnames *and* add your new model. rendering.siteModels= rendering.pageModels= rendering.searchModels= rendering.previewModels= If you just want your object to be available in the aggregated front-page blog and nowhere else, then add it only to the rendering.siteModels property. There is an example model plugin at the following link, but it has not bee updated for the Roller 4.0 classnames: http://tinyurl.com/3bx8q6 - Dave
