Magento Bulk Cache / Index Update Script

If you are doing any kind of bulk updating etc then you also need to make sure that you rebuild all of the caches and indexes after your bulk updates otherwise things can go wrong.

I have just managed to get the following script to work including when flat catalog is enabled (thanks to Nick of Meanbee for the Mage::app() tip).

This script can be called from the browser (I would highly recommend some form of IP restriction or other security) or called from a cron job.

<?php
$magePath = '/path/to/Mage.php';
require_once $magePath;
//Varien_Profiler::enable();
//Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
//ini_set('display_errors', 1);
umask(0);

Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID); 

echo '<h3>Cleaning overall Cache</h3>';

flush();
// clean overall cache
Mage::app()->cleanCache();
echo 'done';

flush();
echo '<h3>Cleaning Catalog Rewrites</h3>';

flush();
// clear 'refresh_catalog_rewrites':
//Mage::getSingleton('catalog/url')->refreshRewrites();
Mage::getModel('catalog/url')->refreshRewrites();
echo 'Catalog Rewrites was refreshed succesfuly<br>';

flush();
echo '<h3>Cleaning Image Cache</h3>';

flush();
//  clear 'clear_images_cache':
Mage::getModel('catalog/product_image')->clearCache();
echo 'Image cache was cleared succesfuly<br>';

flush();
echo '<h3>Cleaning Layered Navigation</h3>';

flush();
//  clear 'refresh_layered_navigation':
Mage::getSingleton('catalogindex/indexer')->plainReindex();
echo 'Layered Navigation Indices was refreshed succesfuly<br>';

flush();
echo '<h3>Clearing out Search Index</h3>';

flush();
Mage::getModel('catalogsearch/fulltext')->rebuildIndex();
echo 'Search index was rebuilt succesfully<br>';

flush();
echo '<h3>Rebuilding Flat Category</h3>';
Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/category_flat')->rebuild();
echo 'flat category was rebuilt successfully<br>';

flush();
echo '<h3>Rebuilding Flat Products</h3>';
Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product_flat_indexer')->rebuild();
echo 'flat product was rebuilt successfully<br>';

flush();
