Hi Peter!

I am having an issue with Cloudflare HTML Cache & Articles Anywhere working together (actually I am having the same issue when trying LiteSpeed Cache) On my article pages I use Articles Anywhere to call data like the author and some custom field values. Everything works great as long as I am not caching any pages, but as soon as I turn on cache it only works sporadically.

Can you give me some feedback on what might be causing this and possible solutions.

Thanks!

Alex

I actually thought about that, but not sure if it matters since Cloudflare cache is external and I don't have any caching enabled on the Joomla site itself. I am checking it again though.

What I mean is that sometimes it shows the data and sometimes not. And I just realized that it does always show the publishing date, but not the values from custom fields which I am using with if-else structures. The original tags are not an issue, it just returns blanks. Here is the code:

Also here is an image on how it looks without Cloudflare cache enabled:

And here is an image on how it looks with Cloudflare cache enabled:

I will test it now.I am not sure, I am new to AA and If I remember correctly I wasn't able to get it to work with just article the way I wrote it with the if-else structures, but I'll try that as well again.

I just tried with the following article:



And it now works both ways (module or direct in article). It is hard to troubleshoot because it is inconsistent. It almost looks like when I access the page first, it gets cached correctly, but if the cache gets initiated by another party somewhere else it can go wrong. What I am trying to say is, that it most likely has nothing to do with caching, but rather that the AA data renders differently based on another condition, for example, let's say I would have a rule in place not to show the data if someone is accessing it from Greece and if a person from Greece would be the first person to access the article, the article would obviously be cached without the AA data and as such would display it like that for all future visitors, but I cannot think of what might be causing it. Not sure if this makes sense to you?

And not to forget that it only happens to custom field values.
