XF 2.2 Disable Exclude Cache pages for guests at Page - Node Level ?

[ProCom]

We're really liking the ability to "Cache pages for guests". It's a fantastic feature and seems to be incredibly effective.

One thing we're dealing with is that we have one "page" that we would like to NOT be cached by this system.

Is there any way to disable Cache pages for guests at a page or node level?

All I could find when searching were these two threads:

XF 2.1 - How to prevent page from being cached?

I've got a widget on the public sidebar. If this widget does display certain data, the page may not be cached for guest page cache. How can this be achieved in a clean & scalable way? The only approaches I've found so far are Abuse the dbWriteForces cookie Feels hacky Use the onSetup closure...

XF 2.1 - Disable caching of custom widget content in the guest page cache?

I built a custom widget to display dynamic content and I don't want its content to be cached with the page. Is it possible to exclude the widget content from the guest page cache? Thanks.

... but they seemed specific to widgets and the instructions for implementation were unfortunately over my head and/or not specific enough.

Thanks in advance for any tips on removing guest caching for specific pages / nodes !

Does this only apply to apps, or would it be possible to do something similar in a Page? (like mentioned here: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...e-pages-for-guests-at-page-node-level.192703/ )

There is nothing built-in to achieve this, but it could be done in an add-on.

If it's just a few specific URLs you could do smth. like

$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = (!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || !in_array($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI], ['/pages/somepage/', '/some/other/url?param=1']));

in config.php without an Add-on.

But if you need more complex conditions, you'd need an Add-on.

@Kirby thank you for this idea!!!

...but for the sake of argument, let's say I'm a coding newb

I'm guessing that code goes in my config.php file? Does it replace the line "$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = true;", or something else?

In my current config.php

// Cache pages for guests
$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = false;
$config['pageCache']['lifetime'] = 60;
$config['cache']['context']['page']['provider'] = 'SV\RedisCache\Redis';
$config['cache']['context']['page']['config']  = array(
        'server' => '123.456.78',
        'port' => 1234,
        'compress_data' => 6,
        'database' => 1,
        'serializer' => 'igbinary',
    );

I attempted it with my home page, swapping out the first config line with this code:

$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = (!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || !in_array($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI], ['/pages/home/']));

... and got a 500 server error

Exactly.

In my current config.php

$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = (!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || !in_array($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI], ['/pages/home/']));

There is a missing ', add that and it should work.

@Kirby WOW! That did the trick PERFECTLY!!

For our homepage:

$config['pageCache']['enabled'] = (!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || !in_array($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], ['/']));

THANK YOU!!!
