Getting customer email from cookie

[cornishpirate]

If a customer has previously checked out with "Remember Me", the email address is stored, presumably in a cookie.

How can I get at it?

Cookie is on their machine you can't get to that, you should have their email address on the order details.

no access dude, check the order

If Checkout Page 1 can get it, why can't a Product Page?

Hi Alan

Can you clarify what exactly you are after please?

[cornishpirate]

Yes - I am checking for an Out Of Stock condition on a Product Page. If one exists, I will give him an option to have an email sent when stock is in. If he has ordered before, then I'd rather not make him re-enter his email address.

Put the following into a Fragment or Product description

!!<<script>document.write(document.cookie);</script>>!!

And you'll be able to see what's in the site cookie when viewing that page.

Thanks - that sure shows it, but some challenging decoding needed!

I realise now that the Check Out page gets the email via it's Perl script - so I guess I could make a mini version of that - even more challenging.

There's a getCookie routine already loaded and waiting for you in actiniccore.js.

Thanks, Norman.

That gets me the full Cookie. I'll try to extend it to extract the EMAIL= value from it and post more info here. Hopefully this year!
