Cookie monster

Simple add-on that allows you to use cookies on cards. I use it to pick a random font from a list on the question side, and then let the answer side know about the font picked. For decks that already use them or for your own note types. To use on your own types, add scripts to the front and back, setting the cookie with code like document.cookie = “font_index=” + font_index + ”;” and reading it with var font_index = getCookie(“font_index”);.

How to use?

I installed this addon because it is needed for “Insert Randomized Lists (multiple choice)” addon. Works fine so far.

breaks the Anki Zoom and the Pomo.

EDIT:

I Found a possible solution.

1.Open the addon folder.

2.Remove the following line from “init”:

mw.web = AnkiWebView () # I think the webview has already been created when we get here. So reset it.

Currently the focus is on the answer button.

How can I edit the code to focus on the card window?

(Same question)

omg you made my day! If you have a buy me coffee button or something let me know :)

I don’t remember where I found it but in one of the shared community decks someone made a card type that I held onto.

4 Choices 1 Answer and other variations. (It’d randomize the order of Questions and Answers so that you’d remember the answer vs your brain recognize the problem and remember the answer is A.) That worked with some super complex javascript. And the 2.0 -> 2.1 broke it for Mac and Win Desktop,

I know practically nothing about javascript but Cookie monster is a requisite for some add-ons.

edit: however, not compatible with Zoom 2.1 https://github.com/ospalh/anki-addons/issues/125

a great JSbooster 2.1 alternative

Great, thanks. I use it to shuffle tables but keep the same shuffle on the answer side.

Works all the more that cookies are allowed on ankidroid so that cards are compatible

I wouldn’t want to rate this addon down. It just seems to conflict with Zoom 2.1 and I don’t know if there’s a github “place” where I can report the issue and get help. TIA

Great replacement for JS Booster if you’re looking for cookie support in Anki 2.1!
