usercache: where's the earliest place I can usercache.put? Page Init doesn't seem to work.

Inactive User-  As mentioned in the document, usercache is only supported inside component and endpoint. This could be the only reason, it is not working in page init.

.

Here is the documentation

TariqHussain Thanks for the sharing documents but might be it is not updated.  As I tested it and working fine on page init.

Thanks for the reply. 

I'm trying use pass some results from a LiQL query in the page Common.init.ftl, for example:

<#assign permittedBoards = "Some value"/>
<#assign pb = usercache.put("permittedBoards",permittedBoards)/>

But when I try to retrieve it in an unrelated component downstream, the value is null. 

    <#assign permittedBoards = usercache.get("permittedBoards")!"oops"/>

Inactive User  Perfect. I tested it and working fine in our instance(see SS).

There may be some issue in Liql query. I would suggest you, once give it a shot with a static value instead of Liql query response.

VikasB I still am having no luck. 

Common.init.ftl:

    <#assign pCats = "SELECT count(*) FROM categories WHERE depth = 2 and parent_category.id = 'private-support'" />
    <#assign pCatsCount = rest("2.0", "/search?q=" + pCats?url).data.count![]  />

    <#assign testCacheA = usercache.put("testCacheA",pCatsCount?string!"ERROR")/>
    <#assign testCacheB = usercache.put("testCacheB","this is testCacheB"?string!"ERROR")/>

SomeComponent.ftl

<#assign testCacheA = usercache.get('testCacheA') />
<#assign testCacheB = usercache.get('testCacheB') />

<p><strong>testCacheA: ${testCacheA?string!"null"}</strong></p>
<p><strong>testCacheB: ${testCacheB?string!"null"}</strong></p>

Inactive User  It should work. I just pasted the same code and it works fine.  Can you try it inside studio component? 

See screenshots

SS1: Component on page

SS2: Component Inside studio

VikasB You are correct, there was a constraint in the code ( <#if user.ranking ....></#>) that I kept skipping over. Thanks for all the support!

VikasB I guess the question then becomes, "what data is available about the page and user at Common.init.ftl?"

Is it everything you could access once the page is loaded or are there limitations? Thanks :)

Most of the required objects can be used insideth page init script. 

Here is the list of context objects. Refer to the table to see which objects can be used where.
