Function on post submit

You should give credit when using someone else's code, and make sure that they allow you to copy that code. That JavaScript code for get/set cookie was not written by you.

I am sorry, I didn't think about www.w3schools.com copy writing their codes I guess I should contact them? Or maybe at this point just trash the code...

[VS Admin]

If they say it's free to copy, then give them credit.

[Thesealion]

Ok i will. Guess i didn't really think about it since the whole website is giving examples of how to do things in JS I'd have thought they'd expect people to copy it...guess not Shows how dumb i am

Just drop of the cookie stuff and use a key. Be so much easier for you.

Once you have done that, post back if it's still not working.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind you copying the code they posted with no credit in return.  The cookie functions they created are very commonly done like that, but the point is, you are copying both the functions, putting them into a plugin which you will likely be applying a copyright too yourself.  The decent thing to do is to provide a link back to them in your code above the functions.

Or write your own functions.

Ok will do I will probably just go with the key thing at this point since I am pretty sure i would fail at writing my own functions

[Thesealion]

Ok re-writing this, but i can't get the keys to work

function acceptRules() {

proboards.plugin.key('Lion_ruleSystem').set('accepted');
window.location = "/"

}

I am getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'set' of null

Are you 100% sure your key name is correct? I recommend putting it in lowercase.

Also, changing location straight after you set the key value will likely fail, as the AJAX request has to go off to the server, so the request will get terminated.

[Thesealion]

Ok so how would i delay it until after i am sure it has worked?

Yes, the keyname is correct. I inputed it with the useful tool off to the side...but let me try with a different name...

edit: It worked right away when i changed the name of the key

[VS Admin]

This isn't in the documentation yet, but the syntax would be:

<script>
proboards.plugin.key('whatever').set('value',{success: function() { put your code here }});
</script>


[Thesealion]

Do plugins not run on custom pages? Cause I am not seeing the plugin on the source page...and it's not letting me grab or set the key value from there...

[VS Admin]

Correct, plugins currently do not run on custom pages.

[Thesealion]

Will they? Cause the without them this code can only really work with cookies...at least the way I have been trying to get it to work...

[VS Admin]

We haven't decided, and are open to input from everyone here. There are some reasons I could see for not enabling plugins on custom pages. Perhaps we could have a setting for the custom page to disable / enable plugins.
