Need help with cookies! Not the delicious kind.

Hello! I purchased The Journey Theme from Koroshiya and was hoping to improve upon it by adding a cookie to save the color a user selects.

Currently if you change pages or reload it goes back to the default blue.

Any veterans can help me out with this I spent a bit of time googling for answers but I am very new to javascript and php.

Thanks.

I cant’t help you , but your title is awesome

Have a look at: http://www.kelvinluck.com/2006/05/switch-stylesheets-with-jquery/

Sorry, I’ve been really busy lately but I promise I’ll take a look and add cookie support soon !

But that article is a good start, I think I used some of that code too.

I believe there’s also a tutorial on Nettuts, which jeffrey followed in one of his beginner jQuery screencasts, you should take a look there too

Here’s the Nettuts tutorial:

I used this technique more or less for my Steelfolio theme, but for Journey I used the first one:

Neither technique is perfect… that’s why I’m planning to write my own jquery style switcher plugin some day.

In the meantime, here’s how you would add cookie support to Journey.

1. Download and include the jquery cookie plugin
2. Add this line to the end of function “switchStylestyle” (the name is stupid I know, I just copied it from that link): $.cookie(‘myStyle’,styleName);
3. Add this line anywhere in the document.ready() jquery block: if($.cookie(‘myStyle’)){ switchStylestyle($.cookie(‘myStyle’)); }

That’s it ! Don’t forget to do this for all your html files, otherwise it won’t work across the site. I’ve added cookie support to the template files, so if you don’t want to do it manually you can just download them again (I’ll tell you when my update has been aproved and the files are actually updated).

Files have been updated ! enjoy your cookie !

Thanks so much for all your help, especially you Koroshiya!

Actually it didnt work, it looks like your template is not working either, at least in Firefox 3 & Safari 4 beta on a mac.
