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

I have a test to do on user roles and groups that I'd like to do as early as possible on page load, and keep it in the cache. (i.e., what private groups are they allowed access to). Right now I'm usi...

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 :)
