Adding security token to custom .php using a .js hook?

[kh99]

If your js is in a template, you can use {vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken} to get the value of the security token. You'd add a parameter to your request called "securitytoken" and set it to that value. If you were using an html form, you'd add

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />

but if you're doing it all in js it would be different of course.

Another way to do it is to add some js to the page to set a variable which you can use later. For example, the vb headinclude template includes this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<--
...
	var SECURITYTOKEN = "{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}";
...
// -->
</script>

If you're already using the vb headinclude template on your page, you can just use the SECURITYTOKEN variable in your js.
