Installation

  1. Install the plugin with the Joomla installer (System > Install > Extensions).
  2. In System > Manage > Plugins, search for "JCH Optimize empty cart cookie" and enable it.
  3. In the same list, check that the "User - JCH Optimize User State" plugin of JCH Optimize is enabled.
  4. In JCH Optimize, keep the page cache's Exclude form users option on, and keep the HikaShop pages that are personal out of the page cache: cart, checkout, customer account, orders, addresses, and the cart module's address (ctrl=product&task=cart).

The plugin enabled in the Joomla plugins manager

Configuration

The plugin has no settings: once enabled, it works on every cart of the shop.

Troubleshooting

  • The visitor still gets no cached page after emptying the cart: open the developer tools of the browser, Storage tab, and look at the jch_optimize_no_cache_user_activity cookie after removing the last product. If it is still there, check that this plugin and "User - JCH Optimize User State" are both enabled. If it comes back, look in the Network tab for the request whose answer sets it again (its Set-Cookie header) and send it to our support.
  • The cookie disappears after another form: the Exclude form users option sets the same cookie for any form (contact, login...). When such a visitor empties their cart, the plugin ends the exclusion too. This is harmless for a visitor who is not logged in, since the cached pages are the same for every such visitor, as long as the personal pages above stay out of the cache.
