Adding code to <head></head> -area

Backlight Customization
#1

Hi,
In Germany we need a cookie notice concent tool on each webpage.
I created with a tool this code.
This must be added in the ---- area.
Somehow this should work with the phplugins.
I enabled this already, but can somebody tell me how to add this to my own “my-phplugins” file?
Thanks in advance

have you seen the documentation and the sample functions? Those should be a good guide

Backlight does have a built in Cookie consent notice, but I believe it appears on the first page a visitor lands on. Upon consent it won’t show up on any additional pages visited.

Hi Rob (long time no speak :slight_smile: ),
Yes, I saw the cookie consent integrated in backlight.
BUt this ain’t sufficient her :frowning:We must offer our visitors the posibility to choose which cookies to accept.
For example one can refuse to accept cookies for google analytics.
(See this example I made: https://erasmus-partner.eu/en/)

BUt anyway I have the ready code for this.
I just not find in your examples how to implement it.
I found this in your file: "

  • head
  •  - return value ignored

  •  - called immediately before </head>

  •  - encompasses nothing; use to insert content into the <head>

"
But how to do this?
Maybe you can just give me one example of how to embed some code in this.
Then I can trigger out how to do it :slight_smile:
Have a great day

There are several examples in the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file found in /backlight/custom/phplugins/ folder of the Backlight download. Look in the User Functions section of that file.
But basically:

function head() {
echo'
....your code...
';
}

I start with the sample file, edit it and save it with a new name. Then upload it to /backlight/custom/phplugins/ folder on the server.
Be sure to enable it in your page template.

Did you read our documentation about cookies?

And we do allow visitors to opt out of Google Analytics; that’s a built-in feature. Backlight has some few essential cookies that you will not be able to disable.
