Updated for UBB.threads 6.2 <br /> <br />This will display your cookies and allow you to expire them. When a user is having problems that seem cookie related have them use this to clear their cookies. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Place it in your ubbthreads directory and provide a link to the mycookies.php script. <br /> <br />DEMO: Here at threadsdev <br /> <br /> <br />Update (January 13, 2003): With Carl's more informative instructions/information I decided to add in language file support. The zip includes the english language file "mycookies.lang.php" which needs to be placed in all language directories. Translate as needed. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Updated on January 19, 2003 to include German language file. Thanks Carl/Astaran <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Updated on January 26, 2003 to hopefully work on all installs. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Updated on January 26 (hours later), 2003 to hopefully work on all installs again. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br />If you do translate the language file please post your translation so I can add it to the zip file for others. Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LOL OK What do you think is wrong with this Dave <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />http://bbs.turbosport.co.uk/index.php?paction=cookies<br /><br />http://bbs.turbosport.co.uk/pals/cookiepal.php

Guess I should rename this. It's not a "pal" for IIP. It's stand alone. Place it in your ubbthreads directory. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok renamed it. Should be less confusion now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I had thought about adding this into the IIP package once or twice before. I'll probably do so sometime tonight. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

cheers Dave working now <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Should have looked at the script <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's good. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I broke it though when I renamed the file. I forgot to set the location it returns to when expiring cookies to the new name. All fixed now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How does this differ from the earlier version that seems to still work?

Incoming variable values are pulled using the get_input function in .threads 6.2 so register globals can be turned off for better security. Other possible cookie paths are used in addition to the configured path to cover cookies that may have been inadvertantly set with the wrong paths during setup or maintenance of the forums. Depending on your setup your old script will NOT delete your w3t_visit cookie in .threads 6.2. Cookie values are decoded to show their exact value for curiosity's sake as well.<br /><br />I had to look to see myself and while I was at it I found another error. I had the form posting to the old cookiepal.php script and not the new name. I also put the new table wrappers of .threads 6.2 to use and made the display validate XHTML 1.0 transitional as well. I'll upload it again after this post.<br /><br />This is how it differs. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This script is one of the best threads add ons. It should be standard. Thanks Dave.

Once again you rule! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for this cool tool. <br /> <br />I thought that giving some more explanation to the users would help, so I extended your feedback-messages a little: <br /> <br />echo "<tr><td class=\"darktable\" colspan=\"2\"><form method=\"post\" action=\"{$config['phpurl']}/mycookies.php\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Expire Cookies\" class=\"buttons\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"doExpire\" value=\"1\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Cat\" value=\"$Cat\" /></form> <br /> [:"brown"]<p>Expiring (deleting) your board's cookies might be useful if you suspect that they are damaged and the board is malfunctioning.</p><p>Expiring those cookies will do NO harm at all, but this will log you out of the board. - Once you login and start using the board again, new fresh cookies will be set automatically.</p>[/] <br /></td></tr>$tbclose"; <br /> <br />echo "<tr><td align=\"left\" class=\"lighttable\" colspan=\"2\">You have no current cookies.[:"brown"] - This will log you out. Once you login and start using the board again, new cookies will be set automatically. [/]</td></tr>"; <br />

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'll get your extra information into this yet tonight. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just added in your extra information in the form of a language file. I'm hoping that you will supply a German version of the language file so I can package it up with the zip.<br /><br />If anyone else can provide other languages please post the translated language files here and I'll update the zip with them. Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow more good stuff dave . Thanks man . <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Carl but would you mind downloading the zip and creating a german language file based on the english one that's included and attaching it here? Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I created the german language file based on Carls suggestions. <br />See attached file.

Just noticed that $user has no value in this script. Since this page doesn't care about user authentification i'd suggest to replace send_header param $user with '0'.
