Finally @ hello! yoshi

So now things are pretty settled. I’ve finally got skins working correctly. The problem appeared to be that I had to set the path for the cookie. For those of you using cookies with your templates, it may be wise to also include the “/” path to your cookie. It may or may not work. I saw erratic problems with it. I’m sure it has something to do with the way EE sets up their friendly URLs.

Here is the format you will want to use:

setcookie(“cookivar”,”cookievalue”,time()+86400,”/”);

This will make your cookie available site wide. If you’re using subdomains, I also recommend setting the domain:

setcookie(“cookivar”,”cookievalue”,time()+86400,”/”,”.psychodaisy.com”);

please note the . in front of the domain name to accomodate subdomains. (i.e. http://www.psychodaisy.com, ee.psychodaisy.com, etc.) Otherwise the cookie will only be valid if you visit psychodaisy.com only.

So now, skins are in place yet again. I don’t recall where I found a tutorial for this, but it was a basic tutorial that was great. Basically you are only replacing the stylesheet that is used. (which in most cases is just fine.)

Looking very good Yoshi, you have out done yourself this time :) So when will we see the forums or are you planing on using them on your blog? Maybe you haven’t had time yet to look at that section, or want them. Was just wondering if they differ from what used to be in pMachine Pro.

hey yoshi, if u see this, plssss email me at

. its really an emergency..thanks.

ur radio blog is gone.. the world is coming to an end…. :(

The forums haven’t quite been made as a module yet, but I’m sure they’ll get that going. Actually I was reading around and it doesn’t look too bad to make.

I got you eleta. :)

I’ll be putting the radio.blog back in today. Still kinda testing it. :cowtiny:

Found your site through the EE forums and I’ve been wondering how to skin my site in EE. (I was the one who couldn’t get php to work in the 14 day trial. I’ll probably download the full version this week.)

You’re just using a stylesheet switcher with a cookie, right? Was the only issue setting the cookie?

Nice site, btw. I’ll have to add you to my blogroll.

That’s right Moosie, I’m just changing the stylesheet. Everything is just being changed in the cookie, which just contains the name of the stylesheet. :) It was easy once I figured out that I wasn’t insane!
