GoldMine – How to Force GM+View to Reload

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Problem:
I edited the external stylesheet (CSS) for my GoldMine + View mini website I made but GoldMine was still using my old stylesheet. And there’s nowhere in GoldMine to push ctrl+refresh for GM+View.

Solution (Windows):
Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Internet Options, and press the delete files button.
GoldMine Howto

This will delete the cached files from Internet Explorer and GoldMine’s embedded Internet Explorer used for GM+View thereby forcing GM+View to rerequest the previously cached files!

But of course there’s no way I’m going to ask everyone in the company to follow these steps every time I change the stylesheet, so the long term “fix” is to embed your styles in each page :-(

Sorry bandwidth police!
