For example, the user can change the font size, and it is remembered in the cookies. Say I am on the product page and change the font size there and add the cookie. Everything looks fine, but when I go to the front page, the font size is back to normal. Going back to the product page, the cookie is applied. How can I make the cookies work site-wide instead of per page? Or is there something wrong with what I am doing?

How I do it is, when the user checks a checkbox:

$.cookie('font', 'x2');

And on $(document).ready() I simply check the cookie and apply the css so:

if($.cookie('font') == 'x2') {
  $(body).css('font-size', '200%');
}

Or something like that. I don't think the problem is in my code though anyway, since it works, is this some kind of Drupal behaviour or...?

  • No it's not a Drupal behaviour, I use jQuery cookie in plenty of sites without any problems – Clive♦ May 22 '13 at 15:36
  • Check if you have javascript errors when page loads – Aboodred1 May 22 '13 at 15:36
  • I don't have any javascript errors. I apply the font-size change and add the cookie and when I switch to any other page on the site, the cookie displays empty. – Sergo May 22 '13 at 15:39
  • Try different machine/browser combinations to rule out local issues – Clive♦ May 22 '13 at 15:41
  • Same thing everywhere. – Sergo May 22 '13 at 15:43

Not really Drupal related, but it sounds to me like you are only setting the cookie for the current path.

Change:

$.cookie('font', 'x2');

to:

$.cookie('font', 'x2', { path: Drupal.settings.basePath });

  • Still not working... This is driving me nuts. Tried setting the path to the base path and anything I could think of, doesn't seem to be it. – Sergo May 22 '13 at 17:05
  • Is '/' the root of your drupal installation? Regardless, a more correct value for the cookie path (assuming you want the cookie available across your entire site) would make use of Drupal's global javascript settings in Drupal.settings. I've update my answer accordingly. – Adam Balsam May 22 '13 at 17:28
  • This almost works. I will update the original post for further info. – Sergo May 23 '13 at 6:36
  • I don't remember what didn't work for me, but I got it fixed. Your solution fixed this issue. Thank you. – Sergo May 30 '13 at 13:16

Set a timeout of a certain number of days on the cookie:

$.cookie('font', 'x2', { expires : 10 });
