Hi all,
I have a D7 website that needs to show an animation when the user enters the site, but not for as long as the user stays on the site. I wanted to use a session variable for this, but it seems there are many times the animation is not triggered. I assume this is due to caching of the page. How can I overcome this? Is there a cache save session variable or an alternative method used in situations like mine.
At the start of the animation part I have the code <?php if(! isset($_SESSION['showAnimation'])): ?>
at the end of the part I have <?php endif; $_SESSION['showAnimation']=2; ?>
So when the user first visits the site, the variable is not found and the animation is show. After the animation the session variable is set and the animation is not shown any more. That last version is cached and the animation is not shown, even for the next user who visits the site.
Thanks for any help.
