Limited Guest Viewing Pro - Boost Registrations [Paid] v1.9.21

Cannot install with page caching enabled is the error i get installing. Looking for where to disable this

What type of page caching? I use redis and it works fine. I've also tried memcache and the file system without issues.

What error or problem did you encounter?

I purchased and installed the add-on. However, am I sure it's working? I couldn't reach a conclusion on how to test it. I'm accessing from different devices and I can still view as many pages as I want.

XF: 2.3
PHP: 8.3.14

These are the same specs that I mostly test and run with live, so no issue with 2.3 or PHP 8.x

Did you enable the add-on? It's the first option and first checkbox in the add-on options.

Or, message me privately and I'm happy to look into it with temporary admin access.

@Wutime is there a way to implement this for the news publisher plugin?

Possibly, is it this add-on specifically you're referring to?

Yes, the add-on is enabled. I am currently checking for any conflicts with other add-ons. I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue before. I also tried installing the previous version, but the situation remains the same. I have a busy schedule outside the forum, so I would appreciate it if you could look into this when you are available. I will send you a private message for this.

Yup, no problem. I'll keep an eye out for your message.

Yes, the error is accurate. With full page caching, there's no opportunity to update the page for guests to inform them of the "limited guest views".

I can programmatically invalidate the cache, but figured it was better to notify you that page caching for guests is incompatible.

Here's why this is the case:

Page caching in XenForo will prevent any changes made by an add-on from being reflected on guest pages if the changes depend on dynamic logic, such as a session key for guests being incremented.

When page cache is enabled, XenForo serves fully cached versions of guest pages without executing most of the PHP backend logic, including add-on code or session handling. This means:

If an add-on modifies the page dynamically based on a session key or other guest-specific conditions, those modifications will not occur because the cached page bypasses the logic responsible for generating them.

The cached page is static, so any session key increment or other changes will only be reflected after the cache for that page expires or is cleared.

I'm wondering where to turn off the page cacheing or If I can????

You must have recently enabled it?

It's in config.php

If not, then let me know and I'll have to figure out why it's triggering for you

does it matter that i'm on cloud not local host?

You're using xenforo's cloud solution?

Yes

Yes

Okay, before I make an update I'm curious. Were you previously running this add-on without issue on the cloud hosted XF?

Okay, I have an update I'm just testing. Removes the limitation you see on install and ensures things work properly.
