Dynamic Caching does not work with latest update (1.4.1)

Have you used the debug log to track what the plugin is doing?

Hi @luxcav have you tested version 1.4.2?

Regards

I find no errors on the cache log, but my php reports this:

[10-Aug-2014 07:41:59 UTC] PHP Warning:  Parameter 1 to dynamic_output_buffer_test() expected to be a reference, value given in D:\WebSite Development\AllaboutMobile\Public_HTML\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 470

I am using 1.4.2 now but the problem continues.

I got some reports on the plugin log. Here they are:

How are you calling dynamic_output_buffer_test? Are you using add_filter?

Check out how it’s called in the dynamic-cache-test.php, it’s a cacheaction there.

Also, I fixed a bug in that file, grab the development version and copy into wp-super-cache/plugins/

Hello,

I am also having this issue.. The warning doesn’t appear on the local setup of the site.

But once I push the changes to the live site, I get the warning.

It doesn’t appear to affect the function of the dynamic plugin however :S

Any ideas what I may need to do?

luxcav did you get this sorted?

Cheers,

I changed the constants which the old script was suggesting (DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TAG, DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT) to something else and everything worked perfectly.

See below:

define( 'DYN_TAG', 'CONST_TAG' ); // Change this to a secret placeholder tag

if ( DYN_TAG != '' ) {
	if (!function_exists(dynamic_output_buffer_test)) {
	function dynamic_output_buffer_test( $cachedata = 0) {
		if ( defined( 'DYN_OB_TEXT' ) )
			return str_replace( DYN_TAG, DYN_OB_TEXT, $cachedata );

		ob_start();

		{do your thing here and you will get dynamic results}

		ob_end_clean();

		if ( $cachedata === 0 ) {
			define( 'DYN_OB_TEXT', $text );
		} else {return str_replace( DYN_TAG, $text, $cachedata );}
	}
	}
	add_cacheaction( 'wpsc_cachedata', 'dynamic_output_buffer_test' );

	if (!function_exists(dynamic_output_buffer_init)) {
		function dynamic_output_buffer_init() {
		add_action( 'wp_footer', 'dynamic_output_buffer_test' );
		}
	}
	add_cacheaction( 'add_cacheaction', 'dynamic_output_buffer_init' );

	if (!function_exists(dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety)) {
		function dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety( $safety ) {
			if ( defined( 'DYN_OB_TEXT' ) ) {return 1;} else {return 0;}
			}
		}
	add_cacheaction( 'wpsc_cachedata_safety', 'dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety' );
}

Cool!

Thanks very much for your response luxcav, did you leave this script in the dynamic_cache_test.php file in the plugins directory for wp-super-cache or did you move it to your themes functions.php?

I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.

Just as an update; I changed the constants as you suggested but I am still receiving the php warning on the live site.

Weird.

Fixed! I realised that in the example script there’s an error..

In the line function dynamic_output_buffer_test( &$cachedata = 0) {

I had to remove the &.

I was having the same problem and also removed the “&” in from the of the $cachedata parameter which fixed my issue. It seemed counter intuitive since the error indicates it’s expecting a reference (which the “&” does), but the dynamic caching is working and the error is no longer appearing on my page.

Thank you so much, jakus!

hey jakus,

Is it possible where “{do your thing here and you will get dynamic results}” is located to call a file, such as example.php?

Thank you!

Or is there a way to use ajax to do this? Not sure which would be better.

Hi Jay,

I don’t see why you couldn’t use an ‘include example.php’ as the dynamic content?

e.g <?php include('nameoffile.php'); ?>

For Ajax; you would need to write a bit of additional javascript.

yup that worked, thanks jakus! For some reason i can not run any if statements in the php file that I call. Same goes for if I check if the page is_single or is_home.

Any ideas as to why and any suggested workarounds?

Code example:

if ( is_single() ) {
echo “here”;
}
