Remember Location Cookie

Thanks Alex.

The reason I asked about cookies was because of this previous forum thread where one of your team advised to create a cookie…
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/remember-location/

The other admin said it was a few lines of code, but writing javascript which automatically gets the localStorage then sends it to the server for a redirect is far more than that.

In your FAQ’s, you say that there are many hooks and filters and just to ask you for the right ones for what we’re trying to customise:

Are you able to provide the hooks please?

Thanks,

Ok thank you.

Hi Kiran, thanks very much for that. This is what we’ve written so far…

function gd_snippet_190913_set_current_location( $location ) {
        if ( ! empty( $location->type ) && geodir_is_page( "location" ) ) {
                setcookie("last_location",base64_encode(serialize($location)));
        }
        return $location;
}
add_filter( "geodir_set_current_location", "gd_snippet_190913_set_current_location", 10, 1 );

How would we get the value that we’ve written into the cookie, into the user session? For example:

add_action( 'init', 'process_post' );

function process_post() {

     if( isset($_COOKIE['last_location']) ) {

          $_SESSION[‘YOUR_KEY_HERE’] = unserialize(base64_decode($_COOKIE[‘last_location’]));

     }

}

What is the session key that we need please?

Thanks,
Dave
