   hi support,

   I am using w3 total cache and i am interested in serving cached pages to urls with varying query string variables.

   here is what i mean:

   page to cache:
   http://www.domain.com/page1/

   can the above cached page be served to:
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier1
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier15
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier16
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier155
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier1877
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier1411
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier18383452
   http://www.domain.com/page1/?date-time-unique-identifier1555

   Is there currently an option to do this?

   I am not interested in Caching URIs with query string variables, because my query string variables will CHANGE for every visitor... so there is no point to cache each page relative to each string.

   Can I simply serve them the same cached page regardless of what the trailing query string variables are? Something like a wildcard function?

   Thank you very much!

   sorry, forgot to mention...

   should matter but I would like to do this for "Page caching via memcached"

   we are also looking for this functionality - let me know what you have figured out

   we ended up modifying the lib\w3\PgCache.php file - right at the top of the file

   function _get_page_key($request_uri, $mobile_group = '', $referrer_group = '',
           $encryption = false, $compression = false, $content_type = false) {
           // replace fragment
           $key = preg_replace('~#.*$~', '', $request_uri);
   
   // WE ADDED THIS
   // replace query string
   $key = preg_replace('~\?.*$~', '', $key);

   obviously it we'll have to do it every update - and your implementation is a touch different

   would be nice to get that added in as a feature

   hi marcuslayton,

   it seems you have got it working :) so the final mod looks like version 1 below?

   function _get_page_key($request_uri, $mobile_group = '', $referrer_group = '',
           $encryption = false, $compression = false, $content_type = false) {
   
           $key = preg_replace('~\?.*$~', '', $key);

   or would it look like verision 2 below?

   function _get_page_key($request_uri, $mobile_group = '', $referrer_group = '',
           $encryption = false, $compression = false, $content_type = false) {
   
           $key = preg_replace('~#.*$~', '', $request_uri);
           $key = preg_replace('~\?.*$~', '', $key);

   1) with your modification, does this REMOVE the query string entirely?

   2) or does it simply ignore the query string now and serve the cached page regardless?

   3)
   

   implementation is a touch

   if you don't mind me asking, how are you guys using it? can you give some suggestion so that it would work for my purpose as well?

   thanks for your help!

   Its currently not possible. But its version 2 they are using.
   And it removes the query for all modes not just disc enchanced.
