XF 2.1 How to get cookies in a template?

[Sushimaster]

Hi there,

how can I handle cookies within a template? Let's say I want to decide what to do with a given cookie value within a template like (in PHP)

if($_COOKIE["whatever"]==1){
    //display template block A
}
else{
    //display template block B
}

Any ideas?

I was looking for the same some time ago, and found my anwser over here (post by Kirby):

XF 2.0 - Set and get cookies

What're the most optimal ways to get and set cookies in XF2? I figured I can read cookies from the app with $request = \XF::app()->container('request'); $cookies = $request->getCookies(); $specificCookie = $request->getCookie('someCookie'); And set them via the template renderer...

Well, it's Javascript but I need the PHP / Template (server-sided) solution
