Best cache configuration

Hi,

From several weeks I've testing best cache configuration for my site. I tested Joomla cache but I think this is no good solution, at least for me, virtuemart cart not refresh and sometimes I get a blank page.

Using gk cache cart works fine but register not display messages (invalid password, user not exists...) and this is a problem for users. I've done a little fix that works fine for me, in /plugins/system/gavickExtCache/gavickExtCache.php in line 43:

Original

Code: Select all

$options = array(
         'defaultgroup'   => 'page',
         'browsercache'   => false,
         'template_name' => $name,
         'caching'      => false,
         'excluded'       => $pconfig['params']

Changes

Code: Select all

$options = array(
         'defaultgroup'   => 'page',
         'browsercache'   => $this->params->get('browsercache', false),
         'template_name' => $name,
         'caching'      => false,
         'excluded'       => $pconfig['params']

And in line 99:

Original

Code: Select all

function onAfterRender()
   {
      $app = JFactory::getApplication();

      if ($app->isAdmin() || JDEBUG) {
         return;
      }
      
      $user = JFactory::getUser();
      if ($user->get('guest')) {
         //We need to check again here, because auto-login plugins have not been fired before the first aid check
         $this->_cache->store();
      }
   }

function onAfterRender()
   {
      $app = JFactory::getApplication();

      if ($app->isAdmin() || JDEBUG) {
         return;
      }
      
      if (count($app->getMessageQueue())) {
         return;
      }

      $user = JFactory::getUser();
      if ($user->get('guest')) {
         //We need to check again here, because auto-login plugins have not been fired before the first aid check
         $this->_cache->store();
      }
   }

In this way register or login works fine and display message. The only problem is with gk cache JCH Optimizer not works fine for js files, only works the first time, when refresh page combined js dissapear and it loads all js files. This problem with native Joomla cache not occur but gk cache is more powerful (in my case around 1 - 1,5 seconds).

Is there any way to fix this?

The problem exist with default Joomla! cache ?

No, with default Joomla cache when a user register or login it displayed messages correctly and JCH Optimizer works fine. The problem with default Joomla cache is less efficient than gk cache and sometimes displays blank pages

The efficiency is exactly the same because the way how it cache works is the same. If you have conflict with 3rd party extension it may be not cache issue but extension problem.

Hi,

The efficiency is not the same, at least in my case, I've tested with different tools and exists an important difference in load time. Blank pages is a Virtuemart issue, I'm trying to resolve it.

However you don't resolve my doubt, Why JCH Optimizer works with default Joomla cache and doesn't work with gk cache?

JCH Optimizer works with default Joomla cache and doesn't work with gk cache?

Sorry but this is more question to JCH Otpimizer authors, maybe the order or the plugins make the difference, please try to move JCH Otpimize plugin to the top so it will run after template cache.

maybe the order or the plugins make the difference

This was the solution . I'm trying doing this days ago but I was doing something wrong.

Jch Optimizer support is completely inexistent, many tickets support and not get response but now It's resolve.

I am grateful.

Ok, hope it will be helpful for other members.
