Good morning,
I downloaded 8.00.6 and was working with the Sidebar Categories. Needless to say I was frustrated because it wouldn''t reflect any changes I made by adding or deleting categories. After a while I found that it now uses AJAX to load the categories ONCE. I then tried to CLEAR my cache and it worked but I had to do that every time I made a change.
Is there any other solution during development to have these reloaded other than having to CLEAR MY CACHE every time?
I''m going to ask what may be a silly question ... If I make changes on the site categories, do my clients have to do the same to see the changes? (I''m new to AJAX).
Thanks,
John |

Update:
In addition, when using multiple stores the Category Menu on the Left is duplicated on both sites even though I have applied a different MATCH PRODUCT for each category relating to the site. Whichever site is first loaded is the Category Menu that is shown for both sites.

Hi John,
We have changed how we handle categories to help improve the speed of a site.
Seems may need a tweak.
Thanks for posting and I have updated our tech team.
Thank you.

Hi John,
I have applied all of the 8.00.6 upgrade execpt for the categories updated with AJAX. Since you posted I´have been very careful about it, and tested in test site, finding that as you said, there is some issue.
Thanks a lot to share.
Posts are important part of developing, I read all of them but not have time to comment all of them, but there are many that are really very useful
Saludos

Hi everyone,
I worked around the multi store issue by renaming the following variables in all files on the second site from
loadlayout_categories_once
loadlayout_categories_desktop
loadlayout_categories_normal
loadlayout_categories_mobile
to
loadlayout_categories_once_2
loadlayout_categories_desktop_2
loadlayout_categories_normal_2
loadlayout_categories_mobile_2
It might not be the cleanest solution for someone trying to automate the process with VPCART 8, but it will work in a pinch.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
Or if you like you can try the following posted to me by one of our techs.
1. open shop$db.asp
2. locate routine sub ShopOpenDatabase (connection)
3. below sub ShopOpenDatabase (connection), insert below line:
session("site_xShopId") = xShopId
4. save shop$db.asp
5. open shoplayoutmgr_v8_subs.asp
6. locate routine sub loadlayout_categories_once
7. below sub loadlayout_categories_once, insert these lines:
if session("site_xShopId") <> xshopid then
session("loadlayout_categories_once") = ""
end if
8. save shoplayoutmgr_v8_subs.asp
Let me know if it does not work.
Thanks

Hi Cam,
Maybe I spoke too soon. It looks like I had a cache resfresh issue but now that everything is clean, the code you suggested does not work.
If I insert
3. below sub ShopOpenDatabase (connection), insert below line:
session("site_xShopId") = xShopId
then everytime either site is refreshed, the session variable AND xShopId will ALWAYS be the same which means
7. below sub loadlayout_categories_once, insert these lines:
if session("site_xShopId") <> xshopid then
session("loadlayout_categories_once") = ""
end if
will never run.
I removed the shop$db insertion you suggested and modified the Shoplayoutmgr_v8_subs.aps with
7. below sub loadlayout_categories_once, insert these lines:
if session("site_xShopId") <> xshopid then
session("loadlayout_categories_once") = ""
session("site_xShopId") = xshopid
end if
This works so far.
Regards,
John |

Hi John,
I have tried your suggested fix and seems to work in my multi sites for categories.
I have forwarded your steps to our lead developer to review.
Thanks

Hi Support and Cam,
Well, it all worked fine but after one of the recent updates it stopped working. I narrowed it down to the new AJAX system. Although it works much faster using AJAX, it stopped checking the xshopId status.
In the gensidecategories_fromsession (passstring) subroutine, you have commented out
''800 - 2015.04.30 - Enhancement: Loading side/mobile categories in Ajax to improve first load speed
''loadlayout_categories_once
Now the site only runs the loadlayout_categories_once subroutine the first load and not again. I''m no expert so please have your jedi coders look at this.
Thanks,
John
