There are several problems with serving page cache for anonymous users.
The office_hours module displays the Office hours af an entity, including a open/closed status indicator.
Depending on the time fo day, the indicator may change.
However, when the
Internal Page Cache module →
is enabled, the page is cached forever for anonymous users.
This module is especially for caching pages for anonymous users, when no external caching (Varnish etc.)is enabled.
- in OfficeHoursCacheHelper~getCacheMaxAge(), remove the exception for Anonymous users.
- Enable page_cache module (default Drupal setting)
- Prepare 2 browsers , 1 with authenticated user, the other with anonymous user
- Set office hours field formatter to display current status open/closed.
- Edit an entity, make sure that current slot ends in 1-2 minutes. Save.
- Display the entity in both browsers. the status says 'closed'
- refresh the pages until end time kicks in. Authenticated user is refreshed. Anonymous user is not.
- Disable page_cache module (default Drupal setting)
- repeat. all works fine.
- in OfficeHoursCacheHelper~getCacheMaxAge(), add the exception for Anonymous users.
if (\Drupal::currentUser()->isAnonymous()) {return 0;}
- repeat. all works fine, but cache is now always disabled, even when page_cache is disabled.
Add a check for moduleExists('page_cache')
