Cookie problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 30.2010

Hi!
I made a website for a client 2 years ago, and the guys had the great idea of putting the website on a subdomain. I had a cool cookie system, that allowed the user to choose between four different styles. Now I have a problem with my cookie system. The cookie is created on :
blog.domain.com
and apparently it’s read on domain.com, so it’s not found. I searched everywhere, but I don’t know how to specify that it has to look inside blog.domain.com.
That’s the cookie called styleName that I’m talking about. It was situated at domain.com and it worked flawlessly, and now its at blog.domain.com and it’s considered as empty by my code…
Here is my code :

[code=php]<?php
if (!empty($_COOKIE[‘styleName’])) { ?>
</noscript>

<script type=”text/javascript” language=”javascript”>
var currentStyle = getDataCookie(‘styleName’);
document.write (‘<link rel=”stylesheet” title=”default” type=”text/css” href=”http://www.millesaisons.fr/millesaisons/wp-content/themes/default-fr/’ + currentStyle + ‘.css” />’);

</script>[/code]

Yeah, there is some javascript involved…
Thanks for all advice !

@NogDogAug 30.2010 — If I understand the issue correctly, when you set the cookie, if you specify the domain as ".domain.com" (note the leading "."), then it will be sent for all sub-domains and also if no sub-domain is entered for the URL.
<i>
</i>setcookie('cookie_name', 'value', 0, 'cookie/path', [color=red][b]'.domain.com'[/b][/color]);

@Ness_du_FratauthorAug 30.2010 — Thanks NogDog, but I'm not sure where I should put my '.domain.com'... I'm really not good at javascript, I'm more of a php person, and it's been two years since I browsed the internet to find pieces of code that I put together ^^ Here is my file :
[code=html]// JavaScript Document
function getWholeCookie(offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (';', offset)
if (endstr ==-1) {
endstr = document.cookie.length;
}
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset,endstr));
}

function getCookie(name) {
var arg = name + '=';
var argLength = arg.length;
var cookieLength = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < cookieLength) {
var j = i + argLength;
if (document.cookie.substring(i,j) == arg) {
return getWholeCookie(j);
}
i = document.cookie.indexOf(' ',i) + 1;
if (i==0) break;
}
return '';
}


function setCookie(name,value,expires,path) {
var today = new Date();
today.setTime( today.getTime() );

if ( expires )
{
expires = expires * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
}
var expires_date = new Date( today.getTime() + (expires) );
document.cookie = name + "=" +escape( value ) +
( ( expires ) ? ";expires=" + expires_date.toGMTString() : "" ) +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "" );
}


function tossCookie( name, path, domain ) {
if ( getCookie( name ) ) document.cookie = name + "=" +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "") +
( ( domain ) ? ";domain=" + domain : "" ) +
";expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT";
}


function getDataCookie(cookiename) {
var data = '';
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) data = getCookie(cookiename);
if (data == '') data = 'fantasy';
return data;
}
function getDataCookiedim(cookiename) {
var data = '';
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) data = getCookie(cookiename);
if (data == '') data = 'style';
return data;
}
function changeStyle(newStyle) {
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) {
setCookie('styleName',newStyle,31,'/');
location.href = self.location;
}
else alert ('Vous avez besoin d'activer javascript pour profiter pleinement du site');
}
function changeStyledim(newStyle) {
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) {
setCookie('styleNamedim',newStyle,31,'/');
location.href = self.location;
}
else alert ('Vous avez besoin d'activer javascript pour profiter pleinement du site');
}

function lien(nom,src) {
document.images[nom].src=src;}[/code]

@NogDogAug 30.2010 — I was thinking along PHP lines, and setting a cookie in the server-side script. When it comes to JavaScript, I'd have to google it myself. ?

Success!
