The Issue:
If your magento enterprise store has multiple currencies enabled and you are using Cart Sidebar to give a quick overview of items in the cart: Full Page Cache will be a villain when the customer try to switch between currencies. The Cart Sidebar won't get updated based on the currency switched.
I have published the answer at http://www.eglobeits.com/blog/magento/magento-enterprise-edition-full-page-cache-mutli-currencies-mini-cart-sidebar-issue-when-switching-currencies/, but Adding the same below for your quick reference.
The Fix: Redefine the Cart Side Place holder container and define a new cache Id generator rather than Using fpc's original one.
Follow below Steps:
1. Create app/code/local/Egits/PageCache/etc/config.xml with following content
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Egits_PageCache>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</Egits_PageCache>
</modules>
</config>
2. Create app/code/etc/modules/Egits_PageCache.xml wih following content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Egits_PageCache>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
<depends>
<Enterprise_PageCache />
</depends>
</Egits_PageCache>
</modules>
</config>
3. Create app/code/local/Egits/PageCache/etc/cache.xml wih following content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<placeholders>
<cart_sidebar>
<block>checkout/cart_sidebar</block>
<placeholder>CART_SIDEBAR</placeholder>
<container>Egits_PageCache_Model_Container_Sidebar_Cart</container>
<cache_lifetime>86400</cache_lifetime>
</cart_sidebar>
</placeholders>
</config>
4. Create app/code/local/Egits/PageCache/Model/Container/Sidebar/Cart.php with following content
<?php
class Egits_PageCache_Model_Container_Sidebar_Cart extends Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Container_Sidebar_Cart
{
const CURRENCY_COOKIE = 'currency';
/**
* Get cache id for the block
* @return string
*/
protected function _getCacheId()
{
$cookieCart = Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Cookie::COOKIE_CART;
$cookieCustomer = Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Cookie::COOKIE_CUSTOMER;
$curreny = array_key_exists(self::CURRENCY_COOKIE, $_COOKIE) ? $_COOKIE[self::CURRENCY_COOKIE] : '';
return md5(
Enterprise_PageCache_Model_Container_Advanced_Quote::CACHE_TAG_PREFIX
. (array_key_exists($cookieCart, $_COOKIE) ? $_COOKIE[$cookieCart] : '')
. (array_key_exists($cookieCustomer, $_COOKIE) ? $_COOKIE[$cookieCustomer] : '')
. $curreny
);
}
}
4. Flush All your caches and you are done! :).. Pretty Simple... ehhh??
