There are several jquery cookie prompt scripts out there. You could use something like cPrompt https://github.com/michaelw90/cPrompt You would just need to add cprompt.min.js to your includes/jquery folder and create a file in includes/addons named head-Cookie_Prompt.php and include the following code in it:

Code:




<?php





if (stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'head-Cookie_Prompt.php')) {


   Header('Location: ../../index.php');


   die();


}


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.js', 'file');


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/cprompt.min.js', 'file');


$inlineJS = '<script type="text/javascript">


   cPrompt.checkCookie()


cPrompt.hideOnAccept = true;


cPrompt.cookieLink = "modules.php?name=Legal&amp;op=privacy";


</script>'."\n";


addJSToHead($inlineJS,'inline');

nuken, mijn fault sorry I had to write it in my first post.. my little website is an old phpnuke... (long stoy when I discoverd raven my site was already online months ago)

I can put the next code in head.php

echo "<script language=\"javascript\" src=\"includes/cprompt.min.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";
echo "<script language=\"javascript\" src=\"includes/jquery.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>";

and after that I don't know ... or is that enough?

You would need to include jquery first. You would then need to add

Code:







echo  '<script type="text/javascript">


   cPrompt.checkCookie()


cPrompt.hideOnAccept = true;


cPrompt.cookieLink = "link to your privacy policy";


</script>';

Of course "link to your privacy policy" would need to be changed to the actual link to your privacy policy.

Hi,
I'm trying to add the cprompt cookie warning as described in these posts, so far I've added cprompt.min.js to includes/jquery folder and created a file in includes/addons named head-Cookie_Prompt.php including the code given here for the file but I don't quite understand what code I need to add next and what file I need to add it too to make the cookie prompt visible on my index page. I'm using Ravennuke 2.5.1.

Thank you in advance for any help with this. Smile

There is no next. If you add the cprompt.min.js and created the head-Cookie_Prompt.php with

Code:




<?php





if (stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'head-Cookie_Prompt.php')) {


   Header('Location: ../../index.php');


   die();


}


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.js', 'file');


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/cprompt.min.js', 'file');


$inlineJS = '<script type="text/javascript">


   cPrompt.checkCookie()


cPrompt.hideOnAccept = true;


cPrompt.cookieLink = "modules.php?name=Legal&amp;op=privacy";


</script>'."\n";


addJSToHead($inlineJS,'inline');

It will show up above your header.

I've managed to get it working now. There are two files in cprompt that need to be added to the jquery folder, so apart from the cprompt.min.js file there is another called cprompt.js. Once I added that file to the jquery folder and also included it in the code given by nuken as shown below it worked immediately.

Code:

<?php 





if (stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'head-Cookie_Prompt.php')) { 


   Header('Location: ../../index.php'); 


   die(); 


} 


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.js', 'file'); 


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/cprompt.min.js', 'file'); 


addJSToHead('includes/jquery/cprompt.js', 'file'); 


$inlineJS = '<script type="text/javascript"> 


   cPrompt.checkCookie() 


cPrompt.hideOnAccept = true; 


cPrompt.cookieLink = "modules.php?name=Legal&amp;op=privacy"; 


</script>'."\n"; 


addJSToHead($inlineJS,'inline');

the cprompt.min.js and the cprompt.js are the same exact file only one has all the spaces removed from it, ie minified....

Thanks for your reply nuken, I've only just seen your post after posting myself, I did do that but it didn't show up, but it has now after adding the second file in the cprompt folder.
