10.5 Client Side Cookies `<p>visits: {{ visits }}</p> can't work

[shawshanks]

When I finished 10.5 section and run the server, my Firefox didn't show the number of times of visits on the screen. It just displayed visits:. In other words, I couldn't see the value of {{ visits }} .

While I checked my browser's cookie, it had the value of visists andlast_visit.

The problem confused me. Who can tell me why? I will be appreciated that .

Can you check your spelling of visit.. you have:

visits (in your template)

and visists (in your browser)

Maybe in your view you saw the cookie as “visists” and not “visits”

@leifos Very thank you. But it's the typo of this Issue rather than code and I had corrected it.

Here is what I did next:

Just now I finished 10.6 Session Data. According to the tutorial, I edited views and cleared my browser's cookie entirely. And then I run the server, the browser got the correct value of visits. During the process, I didn't change the template of index.html.

After that, I carefully modified my view.py and made it returned to section 10.5 Client Side Cookies . But it also didn't work (as same as last time). My code is as follows:

def visitor_cookie_handler(request, response):
    visits = int(request.COOKIES.get('visits', '1'))

    last_visit_cookie = request.COOKIES.get('last_visit', str(datetime.now()))
    last_visit_time = datetime.strptime(last_visit_cookie[:-7], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

    # If it's been more than a day since the last visit..
    if (datetime.now() - last_visit_time).seconds > 1:
        visits = visits + 1
        # update the last visit cookie now that we have updated the count
        response.set_cookie('last_visit', str(datetime.now()))
    else:
        visits = 1
        # set the last visit cookie
        response.set_cookie('last_visit', last_visit_cookie)

    # Update/set the visits cookie
    response.set_cookie('visits', visits)


def index(request):
    category_list = Category.objects.order_by('-likes')[:5]
    page_list = Page.objects.order_by('-views')[:5]
    context_dict = {'categories': category_list, 'pages': page_list}

    response = render(request, 'rango/index.html', context_dict)
    visitor_cookie_handler(request, response)
    return response

    <p>Visits: {{ visits }}</p>
    <p>last_visit: {{ last_visit }}</p>

Hmm.. I suspect that the visitor_cookie_handler() method needs to return the response object to index(), and then index needs to return that.

Has this been resolved? What action should we take here?

Has anyone fixed this? I got mine to work, but as soon as I sign out and sign back in, the counter starts from 1 again.
