Remove Cookies Allowed Default EE Message when using Cookie Consent Module

Question

I have recently installed the Cookie Consent Module on a recent EE site build, and have added an allow cookies link (ie. {cookies_allowed_link} ) to a policy banner at the top of the site.

My question is:

Is there anyway to remove the default EE ' Cookies Allowed ' grey message box from showing? ie. I just want the user to able to click allow cookies and the site just carries on as normal with out going to a message screen.

Many thanks in advance on this :-)

Regards

Answer 1

you could:

1. style the systems message template
2. use an addon called custom system messages
3. or look for an AJAX way to do it. the last one is the most elegant, i however, with my limited javascript skills have not yet been able to do it

Answer 2

I haven't used this module but if there is a CSS class for the grey message box, you can hide it with CSS using .classname { display:none }.

Answer 3

I seem to have got round it by using Jquery to load the page into a new iFrame. I haven't tested it fully though.

I added a click handler to the link with this code:

$('a.close-cookie-policy').click(function(){
  var thisLink = $(this).attr('href');

  $('<iframe>', {
    src: thisLink,
    id:  'cookie-frame',
    frameborder: 0,
    width: 0,
    height: 0,
    scrolling: 'no'
  }).appendTo('body');

  $('.cookie-policy').fadeOut('slow');

  return false;
});
