  • 0

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this but, have not found many resources that specifically relate to this situation.

I need a javascript (can make use of Jquery if need be) to swap phone numbers on a site.

  • 2 numbers would be specified. One would show on the site by default.

  • The script needs to be able to create a cookie and do this by recognizing a value in the URL string.

For Example: http://www.site.com/index.html?value=

‘?value=‘ would be the value.

This URL (with the additional variable) would bring the user to the same site but, the variable in the string would set the cookie and display a different number. The default number would not be displayed again until the cookies were removed.

Due to the situation with my server, I cannot make use of PHP ( I know, that would make things alot easier 😛 )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    DEMO:

    GO here: http://jsbin.com/imawo4/85

    THEN here: http://jsbin.com/imawo4/85/?value=john

    include the jQuery Cookie Plugin

    then use this:

    HANDLE URL PARAMETER

      $.extend({
        getUrlVars: function(){
        var vars = [], hash;
        var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
         for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
          {
        hash = hashes[i].split('=');
         vars.push(hash[0]);
        vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
       }
      return vars;
 },
     getUrlVar: function(name){
     return $.getUrlVars()[name];
     }
  });

    MAIN CODE 

    $(function() {
// SETTINGS
var identity = 'john';
var phone_number_1 = '555-555-555';
var phone_number_2 = '666-666-666';
var redirect = 'http://jsbin.com/imawo4/85/';

//MAIN SCRIPT
var url_query = $.getUrlVar('value');   
var coockie = $.cookie('phone_number');  
var swapped_phone_number = ( coockie == 'VALID' ) ? phone_number_1 : phone_number_2;
if ( url_query == identity && coockie != 'VALID' && url_query != undefined ) {
$.cookie( 'phone_number' , 'VALID' , { expires: 10 } );
window.location.href = redirect;}
if ( url_query != identity && coockie == null && url_query != undefined ) {
$.cookie( 'phone_number' , null );  
alert('INVALID');}
$('#the_one_already_here').text(swapped_phone_number);
});

    HTML PART

    <body>
<!--/ output numbers /-->
<div id="the_one_already_here"></div>
</body>

    This should work as expected! 😉
