[Litespeed and Thirty Bees]

Did you do experiments with  "Enable Guest Mode"? If I set "Yes, guest view" the home page loads nearly instantly but sometimes I receive a popup related to product availability (probably it shows some information regarding a previous order in the shop). With First page only it's also fast but not so much.

Also the crawler - I'm unable to set it up on my shared hosting, tried on three domains and gave up. It simply does not want to index the pages, but when I open them it ways X-Litespeed-cache miss. If I reload it of course works (hit).

Otherwise the cache is definitely working but has it quirks... 

[Question about ImageManager:resize]

3 hours ago, movieseals said:

We no longer need to use Imagemagick?  First time I hear of this.  Any reason why?  I just want to understand the logic behind dropping it.  I was currently using it to automatically generate webp since my theme did not create them at upload.

My theme also did not create any webp 😄

But the core does since 1.4 so no need for this module. It had some nice features like white background trim, etc. but in my case it was causing exactly the same issue as the topic creator.

I also removed the watermark modules from my site - I don't sell unique items so I decided this overhead is not needed too.

@movieseals Could you check your jpg and webp files if they are not exactly the same size?

[Question about ImageManager:resize]

Now I remembered - I had the same but. He's probably using the imagemagic module. Uninstall it (it's not needed in the modern TB1.4-1.5+) and regenerate the images, you'll see a drop in the size.

[Not compatible PHP version]

The target setting in Core updaters points the module to which PHP version of the core files you want to update next, not what version you're currently running on your server at the moment. This is VERY useful you are debugging modules errors moving forward with PHP and you need to roll back to php7.4. You should always set this to 'Server PHP version' if you don't do some changes (updates of the core or testing newer php version).

As datakick advised:

• 1.4 is compatible with php 7.4
• 1.5 is compatible with php8+ but many modules will not be. It runs on 7.4 also.

 

• So first install collectlogs module (or regularly read you error_log manually), roll to php7.4. If you have any issues with your module (errors, warnings, etc - fix them now!).
• Roll to 1.4 if you're using an older version - fix errors and warnings on php7.4. Make db changes and fixes in Core module.
• Roll to 1.5, remove tbupdater module (NOT Core updater module, they are different), update all native modules (if update is available), choose, install and configure email transport module (1.5 will not send emails out if this is not done, 3 minutes), install minification module (this was in the core, but was moved to a module for compatibility reasons, check if your code minification settings are proper in the old place where they were before, 1 minute). Make db changes and fixes in Core updater module. Look for new errors with your modules in Collectlogs module (core and native modules should work perfectly on php7.4).
• Then update to php8.0 - again look for errors, if any - fix them.
• And proceed to the latest php8 version you wish to use in the same manner.

DO NOT UPDATE directly from 7.3 to 8.2 - your shop will crash 99% (99% because of installed 3rd party modules).

At each step - make a USEFULL backup of your DB and file system.

With the cache module and all the other caches in TB 1.5, it is quite faster.  The only one I am not sure if we can use or not is Full page cache in TB.  It does not seem like a typical full page cache, but technically, according to the documentation for the Litespeed cache, it should be off as it may conflict.  Other than that, nothing to say except the separate view for mobile in the LS Cache does not seem to work very well.  And different views for groups or views for logged or non logged individuals crashes some PS modules.

I also noted that vanilla Litespeed was still considerably faster than Apache and even Nginx as Proxy, which is what I had before.  And our store was significantly smaller back then.  So Litespeed is definitely an improvement for us.  I also like Cyberpanel, which is like a cpanel for Litespeed and Openlitespeed. It has its growning pains but now works mostly very well for most usages.  It loads quickly and it is pretty versatile and simpler to understand than cpanel.

This is my config. v.1.4.1 (I used 1.4 for quite a long time and also had no issues (I could find) with my setup). Could you share yours?

I use Warehouse and I have no separate mobile view.

[Litespeed and Thirty Bees]

Me, it's running much faster. 

Adding the cache module it's even faster. 

Can send you a link to test.

[Introducing Price Margin module]

Are you looking into a way of doing some kind of update prices based on a external price?
A pricematch system? 

IMHO - price matching is the most toxic way of making business. If you can't offer constant lower price try to attract customers in a different way.

The module - 10/10 - statistics that every merchant needs but if you don't use external system you were stuck up until now.

 

A feature proposal I have is if we can add global catalogue statistics in the module:
1. Global average and median values for the catalogue.

2. A list of products without available statistics, so in general without added wholesale price - this will make the adoption for the module lot quicker for sites that did not enter this valuable metric per product up until now. (as my old shop, where all profit calculations were done outside the shop).

upgraded my test install to the latest running PHP 8.2 and prior to update email was configured and working

Prior to upgrade was fully configured using SMTP, post upgrade

• Your server is NOT sending emails. Please install some email transport module and select it for use.

Now post upgrade there is nothing in email transport

As it was mentioned in the first post email transport was moved to a module. You can choose one of 2 methods as of now and configure them as before. It's like 5 minute job, including testing.

This was done for more flexibility as the lib that was shipping with TB up to 1.5 was outdated. Now everybody can write external email transport using different methods. (you need just one installed module at once but you might install few and simply change them in the dropdown you showed)

Does the site calculate the VAT automatically or I have to do it by myself?

Do you mean VAT per sale or the monthly VAT?

This clutters up my product list too much, I have 17,700+ products and even when viewing via category it extends the list too far to the right so I can't see the "edit" buttons without collapsing the admin panel (on the left) ... very little consideration for the UI/UX when folks make things like this hardcoded in the distribution files.

Just my .02 worth!

How was the product list in PS? I guess exactly the same if I remember correctly?

[Is there a way to stop bots from flooding the stats?]

If they don't cause your site to reach it's limits and don't make a mess in your BO (like making carts, spamming, etc) I would suggest to simply clear the connections table regularly. This will also speed up your site if the table is very big.

Now my TB1.5 stopped working. When open Products then after some time You get info that not all tabs are loaded and try again or contact Your server admin. I tried "cache cleaning", browser cookie cleaning, log off-log on and different types of cache settings. So far zero results. I haven't changed anything on my host side. Any ideas ?

Your hosting is probably doing some changes.

Hello,

 

After updating to 1.5 I get "500 Server Error" when I try to save.

"Front-Office Funktionen

I am using PHP 8.0.

The problem did not disappear when I get the latest bleeding edge.

Debugger says:

TypeError

Thanks a lot

This module does not support php8.

If you already rolled back to your backup set your php version to 7.4, update TB core to 7.4, install Collectlogs module and observe the warnings that this module will rise. Fix the all the issues that are generating during 7.4 and then BACKUP again and try an update to php8.
 

[Logs do slow down my shop]

Should we make any changes to our DB?

[Your shopping cart is empty. - error]

You have to install one of the two included email transport modules (find them in the modules catalog) and configure them. Then you can test in Advanced Parameters - Email if the system sends out emails, right at the bottom of the page.

This was moved out of core in 1.5 as the library that was used was outdated.

Can you post some link as I'm unable to find it?

[Your shopping cart is empty. - error]

Working for me also. 

It was most probably some local caching issue with your browser.

Please, note - don't use the full page cache in Performance as it could bring such issues. You can set up Redis server or apcu caching and use the other 2 types of caches.
