Hello,

I’m not sure if this is possible with an Expression Engine plugin or if it has to be custom made with PHP.

I’m looking for a way to store a cookie based on a url variable, and if the cookie is present display certain information.

So for example my URL would be http://www.website.com/eletters/helloworld/?eletter, if the “?eletter” part is present a cookie is stored on the users computer, and certain content on the website is shown.

I know CookiePlus can help me with the cookie part and using conditionals to show the content, but how would I go about the url variable? Is there a piece of custom PHP code I can use?

Does anyone have any idea how I could do this? Thanks.

Hi marcxdid,

There are some interesting cookie add-ons, and set_cookie is a function available to all EE add-ons. I’ll move this over to the CodeShare Corner for further discussion.

Try something along the lines of:

<?php $cookie_value = ($this->EE->input->get('eletter') !== FALSE) ? 'yes': 'no'; ?>

{exp:cookie_plus:set name="mycookie" value="<?php echo $cookie_value ?>" seconds="3600"}

With PHP set to parse on input not output.

I’ve been tinkering with this but I can’t get it to work. I always get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/pathfinder/domains/mywebsite/public_html/EE/core/core.functions.php(637) : eval()'d code on line 1

Could this be caused by the plugin LG htaccess generator?
