Dynamic Cache for Aelia Currency Switcher

v3
#1

hi

im planning on using Aelia Currency Switcher, based on their article.
https://aelia.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/3000042591-how-to-add-dynamic-caching-to-your-site

i have put the nginx code in my conf folder.
but i still cant get it to work.

this is the code i added to conf/nginx/aelia.conf

# Add Aelia cookies to the cache key. This will create multiple copies of each
# cached page (one for each combination of currency, country and province/state)
proxy_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri $cookie_aelia_cs_selected_currency$cookie_aelia_customer_country$cookie_aelia_customer_state$cookie_aelia_billing_country";

# IMPORTANT
# This is an example configuration file, and the settings apply to the entire server.
# You should probably adapt these settings to apply to a specific location, instead,
# so that they only affect your specific ecommerce site.
#
# If you are not familiar with Nginx configuration, we recommend to contact your
# developer, or hosting provider, who should be able to adjust the settings for you.
set $no_cache 0;
  # If none of the Aelia cookies are set, disable caching. This will ensure that
  # the page is loaded dynamically, and that cookies are set at the next load
  if ($cookie_aelia_cs_selected_currency$cookie_aelia_customer_country$cookie_aelia_customer_state$cookie_aelia_tax_exempt ~* "") {
    set $no_cache 1;
  }
    
  # Don't pull from cache based on $no_cache
  fastcgi_cache_bypass $no_cache;
  # Don't save to cache based on $no_cache
  fastcgi_no_cache $no_cache;

can anyone guide me on how to do dynamic caching on EE? im using EE+wpredis.

Thanks

Cache handling is done by an include file (common/redis-php7.conf) so you’ll need to comment out that include in your site config, and create a custom version of it with adapted rules based on what you have from Aelia.

Hello,

you just have to edit the file /etc/nginx/common/redis.conf (if you use php5.6) or /etc/nginx/common/redis-php7.conf (for php7.0) and to add the following condition:

if ($http_cookie ~* "aelia_cs_selected_currency|aelia_customer_country|aelia_customer_state|aelia_billing_country") {
  set $skip_cache 1;
}

Just after the block :

if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_no_cache|wordpress_logged_in|[a-z0-9]+_items_in_cart") {
  set $skip_cache 1;
}

I’m not sure it will work properly with redis cache.
With fastcgi_cache, it should be easier as you can directly include your variable to the fastcgi_keys directive.
