Another question, does this hook still allow google and other search engines to crawl a website?
Google etc... are in their own membership group in IP.Board, could you allow us to choose which groups see the popup?

Hi,

Since an update to 3.4.1 this doesn't seem to show when a new user comes to the site. Any clues?

Hi

Did you looked at the BBCode and HTML problem ? For me its still not interpreted....

Open xml file from this hook.

Find:

return $this->registry->output->getTemplate('global')->cookieMonster($this->settings);

Add above:

/* Load parser */
  $classToLoad = IPSLib::loadLibrary( IPS_ROOT_PATH . 'sources/classes/text/parser.php', 'classes_text_parser' );
  $parser = new $classToLoad();
 
  $parser->set( array( 'memberData'    => $this->memberData,
        'parseBBCode'    => 1,
        'parseHtml'    => 0,
        'parseArea'   => '',
        'parseEmoticons' => 1 ) );
 
  $this->settings['cookiemonster_info'] = $parser->display( $this->settings['cookiemonster_info'] );

Save and reimport it in hooks management in ACP. Will be fine.

Hi

I had this code

if ($showCookieJar == 1) { // I got my hands in the cookie jar... 		
	return $this->registry->output->getTemplate('global')->cookieMonster($this->settings);
	} else {
		return "";
	}

changed to this

if ($showCookieJar == 1) { // I got my hands in the cookie jar... 
/* Load parser */
  $classToLoad = IPSLib::loadLibrary( IPS_ROOT_PATH . 'sources/classes/text/parser.php', 'classes_text_parser' );
  $parser = new $classToLoad();
 
  $parser->set( array( 'memberData'    => $this->memberData,
        'parseBBCode'    => 1,
        'parseHtml'    => 0,
        'parseArea'   => '',
        'parseEmoticons' => 1 ) );
 
  $this->settings['cookiemonster_info'] = $parser->display( $this->settings['cookiemonster_info'] );		
	return $this->registry->output->getTemplate('global')->cookieMonster($this->settings);
	} else {
		return "";
	}

and after that changes when i load my page i have just blank/white page... nothing shows up. I have to reload page to see right content (when cookiemonster.cookie is already saved).

Ps. If this help PM me in polish ;)

I just noticed that the Mod has been updated, but can't see anything new in the download change log? Do we need to update?

No. :)

Hi,

Does this work ok with 3.4.6

Updated for 4.x.

This is the first plugin I've updated to 4.x. It was painless but I cannot stress enough, TRY THIS ON A TEST BOARD FIRST. I don't want to be nor am I responsible if your community goes kaboom.

Thanks 

I install the plugin. but i don't know where i can change the layout as i see on the images.

Also when i change the text and access the website for the first time, i don't get a popup.

do i missing something? where are the settings of this plugin?

The actual layout is still set in stone - I couldn't get a template to export for the plugin which I need to figure out whether it's a bug or not. As I said, it's my first IPS4 update so it's going to be rough around the edges but I'll polish it til it's a diamond

Is it possible to remove the X icon so that the only way to dismiss the message is by agreeing?

What do you mean? The message will not dismiss until you click the acknowledged button in the popup

​Oh... so the X close button won't do anything?

Does nothing other than close the dialog box, which is displayed as a result of clicking a "Learn More" button in the red box. The red box will continue to display until such a time as the "ok got it" button is clicked.

Ah okay.

A setting that would make it work so that the dialog box appears automatically and cannot be closed unless you click the "Okay, got it."  button would be neat.

That would ensure that the user must give explicit permission first.

It would be nice, but not enabled by default.

As I said, this is the first rough version for 4.x which needs polishing. More settings, templates etc will come later.

Thank you for the useful Plugin! Could you add a different language support in the next version?

Absolutely,

To update the link for learning what Cookies are (for IPS4); open up the XML plugin and replace:

  <div class="ipsGrid_span6">
	<a class="ipsButton ipsButton_positive ipsButton_fullWidth" href="http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/online/cookies.aspx">What are cookies?</a>
  </div>

with:

  <div class="ipsGrid_span6">
	<a class="ipsButton ipsButton_positive ipsButton_fullWidth" href="https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies.aspx">What are cookies?</a>
  </div>

That should fix the out of date link for anyone having problems. 

Quick question is this a one time popup or does it come up everytime the user logs in ?

Plugin description: 

This plugin creates and stores a cookie in order to dismiss it. This is unavoidable.

one time, until the cookies are cleared.

Do you have any plans to adapt this for multilingual use, Mikey? The text is hardcoded in the XML file rather than reading from a translatable language string, which is the norm in 4.0. There's little point in asking my users to agree to something if it loads in a language that they can't read if they happen to use another language on my site

Yep. I will look into it now we're out of beta. I couldnt get it to export templates and languages last time.
