save info cookie for the comments

[biggest_apple]

I've found this brought up somwhere in the forum but I can't find if there was a solution offered. Anyone know how to include a save info cookie for the comments?

Just realized that this feature may have been part of my pixelpost download but quite a bit of alteration was done to achieve what I was after so I can't remember. If it was there can someone tell me how I can get that feature back ?

I also have modified mine quite a bit, but look for this bit of code:

// visitor information in comments
$vinfo_name = "";
$vinfo_url = "";
if(isset($_COOKIE['visitorinfo'])) {
// do stuff
list($vinfo_name,$vinfo_url) = split("%",$_COOKIE['visitorinfo']);
}
$tpl = ereg_replace("<VINFO_NAME>",$vinfo_name,$tpl);
$tpl = ereg_replace("<VINFO_URL>",$vinfo_url,$tpl);

thanks for the help. Ok - I've found that bit of code in the index.php file. Now what do I need to do?

If I'm not mistaken, as long as you have the save cookie code at the top (below), it should be working.

// Set cookie for visitor counter, re-count a person after 60 mins
setcookie("lastvisit","expires in 60 minutes",time() +60*60);

// save user info if requested
if($_POST['vcookie'] == "set") {
$name = clean($_POST['name']);
$url = clean($_POST['url']);
setcookie("visitorinfo","$name%$url%l",time() +60*60*24*30); // save cookie 30 days
}

That code is certainly there but it's not working. What about the code you mention you below your post - where should that be?

[andy]

It's very close to the top of your main index.php file.

Perhaps you don't have cookies turned on in your browser?

Found the code. Still doesn't work though. It's not my browser. No ones details are being saved. You can take a peek:

You don't have the checkbox on your page to save info. If you want to bypass the checkbox, I think if you just remove the IF statement around the cookie save, it will save everybody whether they want it or not.

if($_POST['vcookie'] == "set") { //remove this line

...keep code inside the brackets

} //remove this end bracket

Let me know if it works. Nice site by the way!

Well that just makes entirely too much sense!
