Lead Generation with Cookies in Wordpress

Question

New Edit

I would like to show the_content BEFORE the more tag when the cookie is not set and the_content AFTER the more tag when the cookie is set.

---

I could not answer to my own question because my reputation is less than 10 so I will edit instead.

This is the final answer. This will show the_content before the more tag if the cookie is NOT set, and the_content AFTER the more tag once the cookie IS set. Very useful when creating Lead Gen landing pages or when you want to display some content before or after a certain action is taken.

Thanks.

<?php global $more;
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if(isset($_COOKIE['CookieName'])) {
$more = 1;
the_content('',TRUE,''); } 
else {
$more = 0;
the_content(); } ?>

Try using the jQuery Cookie plugin

You can set a cookie to start with that could be called InfoSubmitted with value of 'No' and when they submit their info it changes to 'Yes'

To set the cookie first make sure jQuery and the Cookie plugin are installed and then use this:

jQuery.cookie('InfoSubmitted', 'No');

Once the user submits the form then change the cookie to Yes:

jQuery.cookie('InfoSubmitted', 'Yes');

Once you have that working then you would need to check what value the cookie has.

if (jQuery.cookie('InfoSubmitted') == "No") {
    //do not show information

} else {
    //show information
}

This is all using jQuery and Javascript. You could possibly use PHP to read the cookies set by the plugin and use them in your PHP code
