vB Cookie Detector - Detect if user has cookies switched on in browser!

Tired of members getting the no permission page because they have cookies switched off? Want them to have a quick way of checking to see if they have cookies switched on or off?

This is a fairly simple hack really to detect cookies in your user's browser, based on 1 PHP file, and 3 new templates. It was requested.

All you need to do is to upload the cookies.php file in your forum directory, add the 3 new templates. Then link to the cookie.php file, and your member will be told whether cookies are switched on in their browser or not.

The message is based on standard vB templates, so I'm not going to post screenshots as they are redundant.

1) Upload cookies.php to your forum directory.

2) Add the 3 new templates

3) Link to cookies.php

Done! Enjoy!

having trouble with this
i have the board setup so only registered members can view. so you cant see anything but the login page unless you are regd. when i tried to just go to the cookies.php it returned me to the login page. and when i tried to add to the member.php file i got a erorr and nobody was able to log in. im on 2.3.4 any help would be appreciated.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
