XF 1.1 Session or Cookie set?

[Matthew Hawley]

Im trying to integrate a chat system with XenForo. It says I need the session or other cookie set by xenforo.

How is the chat system implemented? Is it something you can embed in another web page? If so then I recommend creating a page node in XenForo. Page nodes let you access vars like {$visitor.username} in the template which should be useful here.

Kotomi is another option for creating XenForo-integrated pages:

I'm not sure if it can help you, but here is a few examples on how to set/get cookie with XenForo

PHP

$getCookie = XenForo_Helper_Cookie::getCookie('cookieName');

if($getCookie == false)
{
    //No cookie => Create Cookie
    XenForo_Helper_Cookie::setCookie('cookieName', $datas, 86400 * 365);
}

JavaScript

if($.getCookie('cookieName') == false)
{
    //Date Expiratation
    var expires = 90; // number of days
    expires = new Date(new Date().getTime() + expires * 86400000); // milliseconds in a day

    $.setCookie(cname, 'cookieName', expires);
}
