The mod looks interesting - thanks!

We could have optional triggers to refresh a product's page (to capture inventory) when an order goes through. Email us the idea and I'll run it by and see if it's easy to put in.

Will Jon's xCMS pages be cached or will they be dynamic?

How does this work with X-Cart's Mobile Mod?

We really want this mod and the $375 sale price is not a problem but if all our product pages and xCMS pages are still dynamic I'm not sure we would benefit.

Help Please

It's probably best if you email us this and I can double check. I think you could hole-punch just the inventory part, but I can't say for sure without checking. See my above reply too that we might be able to trigger that specific page refresh upon purchase of a product. Email us if you like this feature and we can add it in.

We hadn't considered caching Jon's xCMS pages but I don't see why we couldn't. Email us that too and we can look to put that in as a feature, if not in this release in the next.

Thanks,

Carrie

With the html catalog the whole site is static html site and when customer gets to cart it turns dynamic.

Does this mod works the same way or only some parts are static? Seems to me it does work the same way or very similar.

Or am I understanding how the mod works wrong?

I'd say it's quite different in that you can have dynamic pieces in the cache. This makes it much more flexible to work with your needs by combining static and dynamic pieces. It's methods in creating these cache pages is totally different from the HTML catalog. You do not use the files directly like you do with the HTML catalog.

It's also different in that you can use things like CDSEO or it's own SEO friendly URL's without using the HTML catalog way which isn't ideal. You can even set the URL's for even more ideal SEO.

It's more like how the big eCommerce websites do things. You could even extend this into load balancing if you wanted to.

It's pretty slick too in that there is just an edit to your .htaccess and an SQL patch. That's it. No X-cart code edits. Some optional features my have code edits (that we are talking about above) but the main program has none.

Does that help?

Page 1 isn't it ?

I echo what Steve says...

I'm not sure how your reply relates to Steve's. We have the keywords in there because it's standard to have them available to edit in X-cart. We would have gotten more questions to not have them in there than to have them. Many are not aware that keywords aren't used much and are convinced they have to populate them still anyway. Might as well have it all centralized then.

One exciting feature I didn't know that will be supported is Multiple Languages! So the multi-language drop down will work and it will cache the different language versions. The same URL will be used for the different languages like the default X-cart does.

We've had some technical issues with our demo server having some operating system type issues. File accesses would randomly take around 3-5 seconds even directly in ssh.

We've been working on a solution and will have the demo sites ready soon. They are all installed and ready to go, just waiting on the operating system to stop being glitchy so that the demo is useful!

Our demo server issues is your gain! I've extended the sale until Friday March 22, at 11pm EST!

We've found some raid issues with our demo server and hope to have them fixed early next week. As a result, we've extended the pre-sale until next Friday, March 22 at 11pm EST!

I'll update this thread when it's ready to demo!

We have the demo site's hard drives fixed! I will have it up soon (been home all week with a sick kid so I'm a bit behind). We should have the Speed Booster mod ready early next week. We're adding a few more features before the release. Preorder sale is extended until March 29! Get it while it's 25% off!
