for some reason the CMS pages are not displaying their cached versions. I know that M-Turbo is actually caching the pages because a) they show in the URL tab list, with the cached date opposite .... and b) when i press the preview link it shows the cached version from

Also when I look at the URL tab and compare the request path of a product or category with that of a CMS page, they don't have the same format ... CMS pages look simply like 'request-path' even though magento urls come up like this in reality ( note index.php )


whereas for example categories are in the form 'name-of-category.html' which exactly like how magento uses them


... in other words the two are not consistent as far as I can see

with the result that when I browse normally to a CMS page via the site I would be directed to


.... which is NOT cached .... but if I either go to the M-turbo cache via the preview link

( note that .html extension has been added by the preview link )

or browse to

( where I have added the .html myself manually )

.... then I DO get the cached version

so the question is why is the content at ...



not cached ? ... this is how Magento displays the CMS pages ( at least in the configuration I have at the moment, and I haven't done any htaccess wizardry that I am aware of )

Thanks

The rewrite rules for M-Turbo don't work when you have in url 'index.php'. It seems that you are not using "Web Server Rewrites". Try to go in the Magento Configuration and check settings "General/Web/Use Server Rewrites".

Magento never adds html extension to CMS page in despite of category or product page. HTML extension is added by the rewrite rules, which works only when there is turned "Web Server Rewrites" on. Try to turn on "Web Server Rewrites".

no, use web server rewrites was on already

In this case I don't understand why your url contains "index.php". Do you set it in base url?

Aaah yes I see. ;-O I wasnt paying much attention to where the urls were coming from, I guess I must have thought they were being generated by magento, so I must have assumed that i was using the default URL for those pages, but it turned out I had them hardcoded into the static block where they were being called from. Thanks, sorry.
