Dynamic Cache: is_front_page() only works on first load

(@paulmighty)

function dynamic_output_check_front( &$cachedata = 0 ) {
	if ( defined( 'DYNAMIC_CHECK_FRONT_OB_TEXT' ) )
		return str_replace( DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_CHECK_FRONT_BUFFER_TAG, DYNAMIC_CHECK_FRONT_OB_TEXT, $cachedata );

	ob_start();
	// call the sidebar function, do something dynamic
	if( is_front_page() ) {
		echo 'homepage: true';
	} else {
		echo 'homepage: false';
	}
	$text = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();

	if ( $cachedata === 0 ) // called directly from the theme so store the output
		define( 'DYNAMIC_CHECK_FRONT_OB_TEXT', $text );
	else // called via the wpsc_cachedata filter. We only get here in cached pages in wp-cache-phase1.php
		return str_replace( DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_CHECK_FRONT_BUFFER_TAG, $text, $cachedata );

}
add_cacheaction( 'wpsc_cachedata', 'dynamic_output_check_front' );

On first page load, will print “homepage: true”, but on every subsequent load, will print “homepage: false”. Why is this and is there a way around it?

Follow-up:
Same holds true for is_page(‘home’) returning true on first load, then false on all subsequent loads.

I am having a similar problem. I have a variable that checks if it is a certain page:
```
if($is_front_page == 1){
    echo $ads['homepage_topbanner_mobile'];
} else {
    echo $ads['article_topbanner_mobile'];
}
```
inside the standard dynamic content code.

This works on the first load (I get the homepage ad) and then after that it defaults to the article ad.

This plugin works a lot better for me than the Total Cache one, it’s been a lifesaver for our server load. But I do need a few of these things fixed eventually…. Your insight would help!
