Use the session object :-

Set "cookie"

$Session->set( 'my_param', 'my_value');
$Session->dbsave();

Get "cookie"

$my_param = $Session->get( 'my_param');

But wouldn't that make my cookie and value only avaliable for that session.

I would like the cookie's life to be pernament.

Though i think blueyed is adding the SkinInit event for such things, so should be no biggie anyway.

Just for the record: Plugin::session_set() / Plugin:session_get() would be the "clean way" to do it (it's a wrapper to Session::set()).

But: using the session data is problematic, because it's limited in size (TEXT and therefor ~64kb). Using it (especially with a large/no timeout) should be avoided.

I'll add a BeforeBlogDisplay in _blog_main.inc.php.

We live and learn :D

Just for completion (and learning ;):

I've added the BeforeBlogDisplay hook to _blog_main.inc.php, which should be what you need, balupton.

Cheers

I just downloaded the latest nightly cvs snapshot;
http://doc.b2evolution.net/b2evo_HEAD_snapshot.tgz

And the term 'BeforeBlogDisplay' is not in any of the files....

/*
 * Now, we'll jump to displaying!
 */

// Trigger plugin event:
$Plugins->trigger_event( 'BeforeBlogDisplay' );

// Check if a temporary skin has been requested (used for RSS syndication for example):
if( !empty($tempskin) )
{

(around line 398)
