    Products linked as combinations - Module suggestion

    in Modules

    This looks like a very simple module. It simply allows you to link several products together, and display these linked products on product page, under the name 'Variants'

    It works quite like build-in Accessories feature. Accessories are just rendered in their own tab, and as a product miniature. With a little bit of theme modification you could actually use the Accessories feature to accomplish this module's functionality.

    It dosen't work like the Accessories feature.

    The good thing about the module is that, when you add a link to a product, that same link is added vice versa on the product you add the link to. And if you delete a link from one of them, it gets deleted both ways. In that way, if you have 5 products you want to link, you dont need to associate the products 5 times on 5 products - but rather only on one product - and then it adds it vice versa on all the 5 other products.

    Full Page Caching for Thirty Bees

    Full page cache works, to some extent.

    Problem with this kind of caches is that... well they will never work reliably with thirtybees/prestashop system, because there is no way to detect when something changed and flush the cache. Which means that your store will, ultimately, display stale information.

    For many merchants this is acceptable. But you must be OK with stuff like

    • your customer entering new product review, and then this review not being displayed for couple of hours
    • you change product price, and it correctly changes on product page, but not in category listing
    • ...

    Note that you would experience these issues with tb native FPC, and with any other similar solution. As I said, there is no way to notify caching layer to flush the cache when content changes.

    In my experience thirty bees is pretty fast, and you can usually work very well without FPC. If your server is slow, there is probably some reason behind that -- badly written module, bad server, etc.

    Speaking of the FPC. I just tested it. Is it normal that it always misses? I cant get it to HIT any page. It's always

    Why do you bring this up, then, like so many other do? Makes no sense. Constantly asking for the impossible is, ... well, I'll stop talking here.

    Read my first post. I never brought up what you are talking about. I simply asked a question about the current thirty bees full page cache - and I got the answer i was looking for.

    Im not sure what you are trying to discuss, but it's not an answer to my question.

    Full Page Caching for e-commerce is a pipe dream which simply doesn't want to die.

    FPC for ecommerce without exception is obviously a very bad idea. No one refers to FPC as actual F-u-l-l p-a-g-e caching, that would never work, and we both know that.

    The scenarios you describe are obviously avoided even on a so called "Full page cache", as there are sections and modules which needs to load dynamically.

    But yeah, FPC is working correctly. It is working as designed, although design is seriously flawed 🙂

    Thanks for the answer 👍 Could you remind me why PrestaShop cache modules are incompatible with thirty bees?

    Well, a cache should only be flushed when strictly necessary - otherwise what's the point. There should be ways to "automate" it, for example flushing the productpage when the stock status changes.

    But i hear you are saying the TB FPC is working as it should?
