We created a custom phtml template with some customer specific php, that must be loaded for each customer/pageload again. So we created the phtml template and added the following code to layout/default.xml

The problem now is that this element is cached by block cache and FPC (Varnish). We do kno that it's possible to add the cacheable="false, but this prevents the entire page from being cached. And this custom template is loaded on each page, so then we disable the entire cache. How can we exclude this template from being cached?

Found also this tutorial, but we do need to display some php code instead of just a simple text line; https://aureatelabs.com/blog/how-to-use-private-content-or-sections-in-magento-2/

Code of default.xml in Magento_Theme:

<referenceContainer name="after.body.start">
   <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="country_switch_notice" template="Magento_Theme::html/switch_notice.phtml" before="-" />     
</referenceContainer>

Code of custom.phtml;

<?php
$locale = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY']);
?>
<?php if ($locale == "be"):?>

HTML CODE
    
<?php elseif ($locale == "uk"):?>

HTML CODE

<?php endif;?>

  • Can you share your PHTML file and also let me know which layout you are using? I'll check for more details.

There are 2 ways to fix this

Either use ajax to load your content for this block via controller

OR

use Private Content https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/development/cache/page/private-content/

  • Thanks! Can you provide an example to achieve this? Maybe using a custom module?
