CookieList can be installed through the Package Manager and also from http://modx.com/extras/package/cookielist

CookieList is a generic addon that can be used for keeping wishlists, user favorites and other similar content. It allows you to define the value that needs to be saved which means it is not restricted to Resources, but may also be used to provide wishlist functionality for custom components. As the name indicates, it stores data in a Cookie.

Documentation can be found at http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/CookieList

What kind of placeholder contains a comma-separated list of resources id, when calling getCookieList?
P.S. I'm not very experienced user

Hi NuShiKo,

As far as i remember, getCookieList does not set any placeholder but directly returns the list. So just use the snippet where you need it.

[[myCustomSnippet?
    &ids=`[[!getCookieList]]`
    &other=`param`
]]

Hope that might help

@Mark

Thanks for your Cookielist!

But when using friendly urls the cookie path are always the url of the resource:
Url: http://domain.tld/resource-alias/resource-alias
Cookie path: /resource-alias/resource-alias/

When the friendly url are disabled the path are always:
/

And therefore it's imposible to get the values from the cookie there are set when using friendly urls...

I had tried to set the path directly in the Cookielist plugin, from

setcookie($cookie."[cl_check]", 1, 0, '', false, false);

to

setcookie($cookie."[cl_check]", 1, 0, '/', false, false);

and from:

setcookie($cookieName, $value, $duration, '', false, false);

to

setcookie($cookieName, $value, $duration, '/', false, false);

But it's still the same...

Or I'm missing something fundamental here?

Hi

How do you get cookielist to work with getResources?
I've tried with [[!getResources? &resources=`[[!getCookieList]]` &tpl=`wishlist`]]
Chunk "wislist" <h2>[[+pagetitle]]</h2>

But it doesn't work?

Thanks in advance,
Claus

To answer my own question:
It appeared to be that Revolution - in my setup - did not got the session_cookie_path from the MODX_BASE_URL in system settings.

Added a / and flushed the cache, and it works

@Claus:
Snippet call:

[[!getResources? &tpl=`chk-wishlist` &resources=`[[!getCookieList]]`]]

Chunk:

<h2>[[+pagetitle]]</h2>

(By the way: It's good to see other danes here)!

@Henrik
Could you please clarify the steps you took? I still seem to be having the same problem. I've seen your pull on github and updated my own file; but no changes seems to occur. Clearing the cache (Site > Clear Cache) has no effecet.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

@bmuniz:

1. Install CookieList
2. In system settings, change session_cookie_path from empty to /
3. Edit the plugin CookieList:

setcookie($cookie."[cl_check]", 1, 0, '', false, false);

to

setcookie($cookie."[cl_check]", 1, 0, '/', false, false);

and from:

setcookie($cookieName, $value, $duration, '', false, false);

to

setcookie($cookieName, $value, $duration, '/', false, false);

In my templates, where the "Add to basket" link are:

[[!addToCookieList? 
  &addText=`Add to basket` 
  &removeText=`Remove from basket` 
  &value=`[[*id]]`
]]

On the page where I have the list of items in the basket:

[[!getResources? 
  &tpl=`chk-tpl-basket` 
  &resources=`[[!getCookieList]]`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &tvPrefix=``
]]

And in chunk "chk-tpl-basket":

<div class="item">
  <h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
  <p>[[+introtext]]</p>
  etc. etc...
</div>

5. Clear cache - maybe with your FTP client to remove all files from core/cache
