Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Hello,

I am trying to use the subject field, but I would like to pass a string via cookies to populate that field. I am able to do it on the first pass, but if I return to my previous screen then try to pass in a new string, the field is still populated with the previous string.
My cookies are working properly as it changes when I select a new string.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Dear GR,

It is not clear to me how you are doing this, however I would simply add a cookie called ce_cookie[subject] with the content that you want to populate.

If you are setting the cookie via PHP try this:
setcookie("ce_cookie[subject]", field_value, 3600, '/' );

Best regards,

Thanks,
I was creating my own cookie, then I had to modify the code on the customFields.class.php to accept it.
I have changed everything back and I am using your cookie, but it still does the same thing. I am able to set the field only on the first pass at the page, every consecutive attempt will change the cookie, but keep the first string that I passed in.
Any thoughts?

Dear GR,

I don't know your script however it could be due to 1: the content is cached, or 2: your code is not reseting the cookie;

If you don't use a PHP debugger you can print the content of the cookie in every page load of your script, just to make sure it reseting the cookie.

Best regards,

The cookie is definitely getting reset. It must be a caching problem.
Thanks.
