setting cookies from singlepage controller?

Permalink January 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM

is there a method to hook into to set cookies pre-header from a singlepage controller?

I can't seem to get them to take. tried "on_before_render" and "on_start".

thoughts?

if they truly won't take,(not sure) then you would want to extend on page_view, compare the page(or its controller), and do it there?

You could always set the cookie via javascript.

you would think. but not that I can tell. headers already sent. nullifying any cookies trying to set.

the database backup uses cookies set in javascript, iconicschema is right. You can see an example right in core to use for your next app Chad.

Good call iconicschema :)
