Automatically ?flush when in 'dev' mode
Often when doing development work on a website - and particularly the templates - it can be a pain having to remember to add ?flush to the end of the URL to make sure all of your changes have come through.
I'm sure that all of us have had that "d'oh" moment when we have spent too much time wondering why our changes weren't working, only to find a simple flush fixed it.
If you have set up a domain in your set_dev_servers array or added Director::set_environment_type('dev') to your _config.php file then you can also add:
This will flush the template cache on every page load.
NB: This will not regenerate cached images, if you want to do that you will have to add $_GET['flush'] = 1; inside the above conditional statement.
