Hi

We have a website with a shoppingcart included in the page template. Until the recent "application" update the salesdiscounts were invoked on every request to any page including a shoppingcart. After I have updated the system with the newest "Application.zip" file the salesdiscount classes are only called on pages that include a shopping-cart module.

Is this a change in the API or a bug?

It's not a bug or API change, but an optimization. We've been doing some performance optimization in the latest builds, and this changes the behaviour a bit. The rule (now and before) is that the SaleDiscountProvider gets called everytime the cart needs to be recalculated. The difference in the current build is that we don't recalc the cart as much as we used to (on each request), but instead caches it's values until the cart gets changed. So for you it's feels like we changed the way we call the SaleDiscountProvider, but we really just try to calculate the cart a little smarter. This also means the you're right in that we only call the SaleDiscountProvider when the cart is included on a page. Because you have to go there to change the content of the basket.

 

Hope it make things a little clearer. If it changes you logic in an unexpected way, other that the above. Please write me back, and I'll digg a little deeper.
