going crazy with snippets, chunks and cache [Solved]

________________________________________
solved: my problem was cookie mistake.

Hi

I’m doing a multilingual site with modx

for know language I declare var $GLOBALS[’Language’] in snippet at header

page uses lot of snippets and chunks (news, products, articles, ... made by me)

but now the problem is:

- I cannot call all my snippets uncached ([!...!]) because modx gives errors

- If I call snippet cached then it ignores language value from $GLOBALS


I’m going crazy because I have been fighting with these features 48 hours ago

I think it’s impossible to be so difficult! please any help will be appreciated

thanks

regards

did you check yams?

http://modxcms.com/extras/package/543 Works fine with chunks TV s and Snippets.

What errors?

Have you looked into YAMS?

Or this simpler method?

- I cannot call all my snippets uncached ([!...!]) because modx gives errors

- If I call snippet cached then it ignores language value from $GLOBALS

My two pennies worth:

If you have snippets called from snippet chunks, check that you alternate brackets types (cached and uncached). After that, if you still get problems, maybe try to inverse the cached/uncached status of your snippet calls. Make the one cached uncached and vice versa.

Does the problem remain?

hello again, 1st thanks for your quick answers!

I don’t want to use YAMS and don’t want to use other multilingual solutions
i’m doing my own one because I want more control

I’m declaring global variable "Language" -> $GLOBALS[’language’] that could value "es" or "en"

then along all my template I use this function



playlanguage function:



it’s very easy concept! it’s not advanced programming technique

but along template I have to make multiple calls, someones inside other snippets and chunks nested

but it’s impossible because when you combine some calls it’s doing strange results, I have
some parts of page in spanish and others (that are cached) in english!

I have tried to combine different ! and [ but cannot solve it

and my question ... why to combine calls???? it’s impossible to fully disable cache and work with global vars?

thanks in advance

regards

not, but thanks... not ressult

could you write what you use? and off course where the error was?

Did you try $_GLOBALS instead of $GLOBAL? (Observe the underscore.)

If this still does not work, check if your sub-documents are cached.
As you’re using many snippets, maybe they use some old content.
Using unached (sub-)documents is also necessary if you’re using Ajax.

If any jQuery Javascript code is used to perform ajax requests, also make sure that $.ajax() is used and not $.post(). $.post() is a shortcut for $.ajax(), but it caches the content. If using $.ajax(), you must explicitely set the output as uncached.

Lastly how deep are your snippets nested?

I myself had issues when nesting Ditto several times to display Datagrid widgets in children documents.

The problem was maybe browser-specific, as I observed differences between browsers.
Probably because its caching technology, Opera was able to build the pages correctly.
With MSIE and Firefox, I had to access the sub-documents one after each other so they were cached. Afterwards, I could load the composite page with more success. But I was still obliged to make several "refresh" before all was loaded.
