Page Cache Ultimate

These fake users are created by Page Cache Ultimate to anonymize the cache (new method). You must not delete them (they will be created again).

There will not have a lot of these fake users, probably less than 5, it depends on the number of groups and the differences in display between them.

They are not active so they will not disturb your statistics.

If you have an Anvato theme, here is what to do to avoid the cart to open each time it is refreshed.

Copy the file /modules/an_theme/views/js/sidebarcart.js in your theme so you can continue to update it without loosing modifications, in /themes/<your_theme>/modules/an_theme/views/js (create folders if needed)

In this file, replace the ligne:

if (prestashop.page.page_name != 'cart' && prestashop.page.page_name != 'checkout') {

By

if (prestashop.page.page_name != 'cart' && prestashop.page.page_name != 'checkout' && requestData.action!='refresh') {

Then clear the cache in Performances page and the cache of your browser so you can test.

If your theme uses the tag "widgetblock" as Warehouse theme does, then you need to clear the cache in Performances page after you enable Page Cache so the template is compiled again.

All our modules can run on LiteSpeed Web Server since it supports the Apache .htaccess file.

However, the HTML cache feature (Page Cache Ultimate) is not compatible with the LiteSpeed Cache Plugin since they are both working on the same layer of cache.

Which one should you choose?

LiteSpeed Cache is a generic cache which does not handle all different contexts of Prestashop. Which taxes are applied? Is there a flash sale comming up? Should I display a different content for this user because he belongs to a specific user group? Did this visitor accept cookies? etc.

Page Cache Ultimate has been created for Prestashop and it is only dedicated to this platform, it handles all different contexts and can also upgrade fast if a new Prestashop feature is out.

If you are using the PageSpeed Apache module developped by Google (x-mod-pagespeed) then you must disable the following option so it does not override the browser cache directives added by Page Cache:

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
ModPagespeedModifyCachingHeaders off
</IfModule>

No, it is highly recommended to keep the Smarty cache enabled. This will speed up pages that are not cached and also pages where the cache is not yet generated.

To get your styles back you just need to clear the cache of "Page Cache Ultimate".

To avoid this issue you can go in "Advanced mode", in the configuration of "Page Cache Ultimate", then in "Cache key" enable "Insert CSS and JS version in cache key".

To avoid the cookie notice to appear 1 second, then disappear, you must override the javascript file of the iqitcookielaw module.

To do it, create a file with the following content:

$(document).ready(function () {
 if (getCookie('cookielaw_module') != 1) {
  $("#iqitcookielaw").addClass('iqitcookielaw-showed');
 }
 $("#iqitcookielaw-accept").click(function (event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  $("#iqitcookielaw").removeClass('iqitcookielaw-showed');
  setcook();
 });
});

function setcook() {
 var name = 'cookielaw_module';
 var value = '1';
 var today = new Date();
 var expire = new Date();
 expire.setTime(today.getTime() + 3600000 * 24 * 14);
 document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) + ";path=/;" + ((expire == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expire.toGMTString()))
}

function getCookie(cname) {
 var name = cname + "=";
 var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
 for (var i = 0; i != ca.length; i++) {
  var c = ca[i];
  while (c.charAt(0) == ' ') c = c.substring(1);
  if (c.indexOf(name) != -1) return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
 }
 return "";
}

And place it in the theme (or child theme if you have one): /themes/warehouse/modules/iqitcookielaw/views/js/front.js

Then clear the cache in the Performances page.

When the cache is created, the page is anonymized, that means it is displayed without any information about the visitor displaying the page.

Modules that display content relative to the current visitor can be marked as dynamic, that means the content will be refreshed (replaced) by a background request (Ajax) in the browser that will carry the context of the current visitor.

If you check the option "Display nothing in cache" then the module will not be called to display its content in this hook during the creation of the cache. However, the content will be displayed as other dynamic modules (with a background request (Ajax)).

If the products list is reloaded each time you display a page with a products list then you can fix this by modifying the file /warehouse/modules/ps_shoppingcart/ps_shoppingcart.js as follow:

How to fix warehouse theme

Replace this line:

prestashop.emit('updateFacets', window.location.href);

By:

if (event.reason && event.reason.linkAction != 'refresh') {
    prestashop.emit('updateFacets', window.location.href);
}

Upgrade to Page Cache Ultimate 7.9.39 at least for a full compatibility with cookiesplus module.

In the configuration of the shopping cart, in section "Add to Cart Action", disable the option "Open the cart".

Creative Element - shopping cart options

This is normal, when the cache is not available the display is as slow as without the cache.

You should only empty the cache when necessary (CSS or Javascript modification, for templates choose the option "Recompile template files if they have been updated" in the "Performance" page).

If the currency selection list does not work anymore, check these 2 options:

The option "Ignore URLs matching this regex" must include ".*SubmitCurrency=1.*", e.g. ".*[\?&]q=.*|.*SubmitCurrency=1.*"

The option "Ignored URL parameters" should not include "submitcurrency,id_currency"

You may also want to disable the browser cache, because if the visitor changes the currency after displaying several pages, if they return to these pages, the original currency will be displayed.

Don't forget to clear the module and browser cache after these changes.
