thisismatt Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hi all I use Cookie Control from Termsfeed for GDPR-compliance purposes. I have incorporated their code into my existing site pages, but also need to do this into WHMCS; this will be my first customisation of it. I've been trying to find advice/guidance on how to achieve this, but in doing so I think I've confused myself rather than actually helping! From what I can make out (having seen various replies by @brian!) I should use ClientAreaOutput hooks, but I've no idea how to do so. The code that I need to add is - <!-- Cookie Consent by https://TermsFeed.com --> <script type="text/javascript" src="//termsfeed.com/cookie-consent/releases/3.0.0/cookie-consent.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { cookieconsent.run({"notice_banner_type":"headline","consent_type":"express","palette":"dark","change_preferences_selector":"#changePreferences","language":"en"}); }); </script> <noscript><a href="https://termsfeed.com/cookie-consent/">Cookie Consent by TermsFeed</a></noscript> <!-- End Cookie Consent --> Can someone please point me in the right direction so that I can get this code added correctly? Thanks in advance 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisismatt Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Brian, thank you; you are utterly helpful and selfless. BUT....where do I put this? That's probably the biggest lack of understanding I have I'm afraid, what exactly do I do with this code now? Thanks again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Just now, thisismatt said: BUT....where do I put this? answers on a postcard, please! 😛 upload the attached file to /includes/hooks (or create a new .php file in there and copy&paste the above code) and the next time you refresh your site in the browser, you should see the cookie bar... 🙂 thisimattcookie.php 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisismatt Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 If I could I'd kiss you @brian!; thank you so much. It's worked a dream. So this is the correct way to add code to templates without risk of them being overwritten during updates? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artaweb Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Hi Brian How can I add a code right before </head> tag closing? I change the FooterOutput to HeaderOutput, it worked but the code is right after </head> closing (inside opening of body, first line).
