[auto actions] Check if Variable is set ( or not ) for a cookie

4 years 8 months ago - 4 years 8 months ago #316928 by smalldragoon
Hi,
I guess I shoudn't be so far from the right config. I want to check if a cookie ( JWT ) is defined or not

I created my autoaction, type code, and for action, selected code and operator " not empty " ( as in the screen shot.)
Nothing is happening, despite the fact the cookie is set of course. ( I just did a message queue saying "yes " ) for now.
is it the way I defined the variable ?
Thx

Your code isn't returning anything. Please be sure to read the parameter description carefully. You need to return a value for it to condition against something. You don't need a Code condition for that though. You can access cookies with [cookie_COOKIE_NAME] in CB Auto Actions (e.g. [cookie_JWT]) in a custom value condition.

Hi
Thanks, finally I'm using as you suggested directly the "[cookie_JWT]" value.
Having that said, I'm not sure to get what you are saying regarding the return value.
I should use

return ( $_COOKIE["JWT"]), and this will be check by auto action ? am I right stating this ?

( so , maybe, should I understand that the code define in the PHP is treated like it is a function ? )
Thanks

Yes, you need to actually return something in your PHP. This is clearly stated in the parameters description. In your case you'd have the below.

Code:
if ( ! isset( $_COOKIE["JWT"] ) ) { return null; } return $_COOKIE["JWT"];

( so , maybe, should I understand that the code define in the PHP is treated like it is a function ? )

Yes, the code condition is meant to allow executing custom code to return a value from PHP to condition against. It should only be used if absolutely necessary.
