Cookie to filter query

[jthrift]

I have a ‘members only’ website that displays specific query information depending on a cookie that gets set at login.

In Wappler, I am able to setup the query, but can’t figure out how filter on their cookie. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Joe, have you seen this tutorial?

Getting Details of the Logged In User and Binding them to your page

Personalise your clients browsing experience by knowing who they are. You can get the logged in user details by filtering the user table in your database, by the logged user ID. This gives you access to all the details of your logged in user, allowing you to personalise the visitor experience by greeting them by name, or any captured data you might have about them.   Step 1: First you need to create a new server action: [image]   Step 2: We call it userDetails: [image]   Step 3: Righ…

Is there a reason why you need to use a seperate cookie than the one that is already generated?

Hi Brad, I’ll take a look at the tutorial, thanks!

This is a legacy site that already has a login to set the cookie. So I’m just trying to use an existing cookie on the new Wappler page/query.

In your Query under Globals / $_Cookie set your Cookie name by adding a variable with the name you require. Then you can select this Cookie to filter by in your Conditions area.

Thanks Dave! That’s exactly what I was looking for.

No worries @jthrift

You can also set further Cookies by adding the Cookie Manager to your page and entering variable names to assign to Cookies, for instance setting a Cookie on click using a binding from within a returned data set for example, you would create the new Variable and give it a name, then select it’s value from, lets say, a Repeat or just a result from a query, then filter via this Cookie Variable in your Server Connect Action as required for the next query etc. So on and so fourth.
