Under EU law coming into force in the UK on 26th May, I need to help a client post a request to accept cookies when visited.

I’ve found what seems a great Java script that will work across the various Joomla versions, but need some help in understanding how to place it in the Joomlart T3 framework.

The script can be found here http://cookiesdirective.com/

My client is using Joomla 1.5 (yes I know its going obsolete)

Joomlart Template Droid for 1.5

Any help in positioning the script would be great 🙂

Greetings stuaforr,
They advise that you should place that code before the closing </body> tag. If so, you need to edit a file but not in JAT3 plugin
Firstly, you need go to this directory:

templatesyour_default_template (here is ja_droid)
and create a new folder named ‘page‘
Then you copy this file:

pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultpagedefault.php
copy it to the new ‘page‘ folder you created above.
The new file will take precedence over the one in the plugin and when you update T3 plugin, it won’t be affected.
Open this default.php file which you’ve copied and add script before </body> tag.

Hope this helps.

How would this work on a non T3 template eg Teline II ?
Thanks

Hi micawber,

With non T3 template like Teline II (I suppose that you are also using Joomla! 1.5), it has ‘index.php‘ file instead of ‘default.php’ file like T3 template. So you can try to add script in this ‘index.php‘ file in dir: templatesja_teline_ii (ja_teline_ii is your default template name)

Regards.
