Hash Cookies

...What?

• A cookie helps hold values between Javascript and PHP.
• A nuBuilder cookie does a similar thing and has hashes around it eg. #USER_ID#.

There are a number of places Hash Cookies can be used...

In each of these situations, nuBuilder does a search and replace with all currently available Hash Cookies and any you use in your code before it is run.

There are 5 Hash Cookies always available.

1. USER_ID
2. USER_GROUP_ID
3. HOME_ID
4. GLOBAL_ACCESS
5. ACCESS_LEVEL_CODE

To find what other Hash Cookies are available for use, you can run nuHash() inside your code.

PHP

Hash Cookies allow you to customise your PHP code.

Example of using Hash Cookies in PHP.

  $s = "CREATE TABLE #TABLE_ID# SELECT * FROM invoice";
  nuRunQuery($s);

HTML

Hash Cookies allow you to customise your HTML Objects.

The Hash Cookies available to HTML Objects are the same as those available on Before Edit.
