Access to cookies from widget

[atmorell]

Hey,

How do I access the cookie object from a Apotomo widget?

cookies
NameError: undefined local variable or method `cookies' for Node ID:
art_form Parent: root Children: 0 Total Nodes:
1:ArtWidgets::FormWidget

Works fine if I do it from a normal rails 3 view.



Best regards.

Try to delegate #cookies to the parent_controller and define it as a
helper method. Really not sure why you can access a cookie object in a
view at all. Anyway, if you need it:

class MorellusWallaceWidget < Apotomo::Widget
delegate :cookies, :to => :parent_controller
helper_method :cookies

Well now the method is responding, but it is empty

art_widgets/form_widget.rb:11
(rdb:3) irb
irb(Node ID: art_form Parent: root Children: 0 Total Nodes: 1):001:0>
cookies
=> {}

Returns a cookie string if I call it from the rails controller.. Any
ideas?

Doh! was getting empty cookies because I had not saved anything in my
session before I started my debugger.

Thanks

I've tried your solution @Nick but right now, i'm getting the error:

ActionView::Template::Error (private method `cookies' called for #<VideosController:0x0000010b707720>)

Any idea what's wrong? Thanks in advance for any clue
