Plugin: Cookie Plus

Hi, I think I might be missing something obvious here, but is there any reason this wouldn’t work?

I have set a cookie on a previous page, with the name “redirect” and the value containing the current page url. This is for an “Age Verification” script. When the user hits a page it checks for the “Age” cookie, if it is not present the user is redirected to the “agechecker.php” form.

I’d like to pull the value of the redirect cookie, and use it in the action of the form, so the user gets returned to their previous entry page:

{exp:cookie_plus:get name="redirect" parse="inward"}
<form class="applyForm" id="lda-form" action="{cookie}">
{/exp:cookie_plus:get}

When I use the code above the result is a blank action, so either it’s not reading the cookie, or not displaying the value:

<form class="applyForm" id="lda-form" action="">

Thanks for your help!

Thanks! I love this plug in! Really just helped me a lot.

Hi Laisvunas

Bit of a long shot this, but is it possible to use your plugin to somehow write multiple cookies with the entry_id for all the pages that a (non logged in) person might visit on a site, and then display a list of their ‘recently viewed pages’?

We have a ‘recently viewed entries’ module that might help you out here… It’s not on GitHub yet but I’ll try and get it wrapped up tonight and post bak here with the URL. 😊

That sounds fantastic Nathan! One question though - will it work for users that aren’t logged in?

Yes. 😊

Woohoo!! Can’t wait! 😊

So as to not hijack this thread any further, here’s a new topic for the recently viewed entries module: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/148743/

Great plugin this, thanks.

Works very nicely with segment variables. 😊

Is there a EE 2.0 Version for the cookies plus plugin?

Not as yet.

Hi

Is it also possible to use multiple cookies in an entries tag? I wanted to use cookies to give some extra parameters, since dynamic parameters don’t work with pagination.

I want something like:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="wl_agenda"
            pagination="both"
            show_future_entries="yes"
            orderby="entry_date|title"
            search:ag_search="{cookievalue1}"
            limit="{cookievalue2}
            sort="asc|asc"}

(Yes, I know there’s a thread on the forum about manually setting POST parameters, but that had some strange effects, especially with start_on and stop_before.)

Hi,

Is it also possible to use multiple cookies in an entries tag?

No, this is not possible using this plugin.

You can probably do it with an embedded template. Use the cookie values as embed:vars to the embedded template, and then put the weblog:entries tag in there.
