Serious cache solution for VM2

[Florentp]

Hi Everyone.

I'm looking for a serious and working way to set cache with vm2 & joomla 2.5.
My shop have like 30.000 products, all using stockable variants... And like an 150 product categories.
My website is really slow. Ok I have traffic (always a minimum of 20 people at same time), but i must fix my server overcharge.

So, about cache, is that solution still working : ?

Hi Casper,

I had this exact same problem and I put in a small hack to get around this:

In the file /plugins/system/cache.php

Change line 60:

Code Select Expand

if (!$user->get('aid') && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {

to

Code Select Expand

if (!$user->get('aid') && !$_SESSION['cart']['idx'] && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {

I'm basically just telling the cache plugin to not display the cached page if the customer has anything in the cart!

Let me know if it works.

-Ben

Or is there any better way to do ?
Tanks !

Hello,

There is also an option to use jotcache extension on your site (it's free ext. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/performance/cache/13155). You can exclude specific components, modules or even positions over your site. Fox example you could exclude the cart module and the cart/checkout pages.
I have used successfully.

Hope helps you out.

Hi Federa
Your solution is not working with my website.  I am even not able to edit the bill to information and shipping information. It takes 1 min(cache time out time) to display these information.
Can you suggest me something

Hello,
Thanks bytelord, I have done it successfuly.
Now, my problem is that the Jocache doesn't work when the user is logged. Is there a way to make it work?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your input, is the way that joomla cache system works, the same for joomla default cache.
