Hello everyone,

I want to edit the cookies notification below the screen, in the backend there are no things i can edit, also the file what does this job i cant find.
I want to replace the tekst and cookies page link.. now it's linking to www.cookiesandyou.com and should be a page at my own domain.
Do you have any suggestions how i can solve this prob?

thanks in advance.

Look into the language/yourlanguage/common.php

Code: Select all

'COOKIE_CONSENT_HREF'

I'm resurrecting this topic to ask a related question.

I wanted to do the same thing as the OP, and followed the instructions above, changing the cookie_consent_href value to the url of my website privacy policy page.

So I purged the cache and tried it out; the cookie consent popup is still pointing to cookiesandyou.com.

Am I missing something?

I'm running phpbb 3.2.1 on php 7.1.17 and have custom style sheet based on prosilver.

You should always start your own topics unless you have something relevant to say in assisting the OP. If you’re looking to modify the phpBB code (not recommended) you need to post in phpBB Custom Coding otherwise you can make an extension request if there isn’t already something in the extensions dB.

Sorry Mick. Please delete my posts on this thread.

No, we don’t do that normally, all I’m trying to do is point out the way it works, or should. I wasn’t having a go.

Mick, I appreciate it. I didn't think you were having a go at all - I'm new here, there are rules, I'll do my best to follow them.

I've continued to look at this issue and just in case anyone else has the same problem this is what I've discovered:-

I eventually tracked down the cookiesandyou.com URL hard-coded into the js file 'cookieconsent.min.js' in the assets directory. As soon as I edited that file the url of the 'Learn More' link changed to what I wanted.

I think this is probably more of a workaround than a solution though. Surely it should read the string set in the language files?

Well.. for that to work as you want without any code editing, it needs a field in config/config_text db, so it would be possible to change it in acp. This smells like core request & should be easy to implement it.
