help with minor change to content changer code??

[jacko310592]

hey guys

i downloaded the 'Content Slider v2.4', and this has a feature which will save a cookie used to remember and recall the last content viewed by the user when they return to the page. (click here for more information on the script.)

 

 

the only thing is that this is made for pages with URLs such as:

www.mysite.com/gallery_album_1/content.php

 

but my URLS are set out like:

www.mysite.com/content.php?gallery_album_1

 

 

is there a way to make to so the cookie remembers the page via the "php?gallery_album_1" part instead of the "content.php" part.

 

i need it to be like this simply because i have multiple galleries coming from the oe page, eg:

www.mysite.com/content.php?gallery_album_1

www.mysite.com/content.php?gallery_album_2

www.mysite.com/content.php?gallery_album_3

 

 

the main code of the js is as follows:

 

//** Featured Content Slider script- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com.
//** May 2nd, 08'- Script rewritten and updated to 2.0.
//** June 12th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.3, which adds the following features:
		//1) Changed behavior of script to actually collapse the previous content when the active one is shown, instead of just tucking it underneath the later.
		//2) Added setting to reveal a content either via "click" or "mouseover" of pagination links (default is former).
		//3) Added public function for jumping to a particular slide within a Featured Content instance using an arbitrary link, for example.

//** July 11th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.4:
		//1) Added ability to select a particular slide when the page first loads using a URL parameter (ie: mypage.htm?myslider=4 to select 4th slide in "myslider")
		//2) Fixed bug where the first slide disappears when the mouse clicks or mouses over it when page first loads.

var featuredcontentslider={

//3 variables below you can customize if desired:

if (setting.contentsource[0]=="inline")
	this.buildpaginate(setting)
if (setting.contentsource[0]=="ajax")
	this.ajaxconnect(setting)
}

}

 

as far as i can see, the parts of the code which are about the cookies are labeled "enablepersist"

 

 

thanks guys
