Installing Cookie control script

Hi,
I bought Stage at the weekend with a view to adding extra pages. Lofty gave me some advice that I am extremely grateful for however...
I have created an additional page in Stage and uploaded it to the root of my sub-domain. The Pages navigation points to the folder in the root and the page displays nicely.http://tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/index.php
I wanted to deploy a cookie control like we have to over here to cover EU law so I used CIVICUK as I have used their basic control on my non-TTG parent site OKhttp://www.openpoint.co.uk/.
I grabbed the .js file and dumped that in the root of the sub-domain and I also grabbed the script that they say should go in the body area of the page code. I stuck this in the index.php file but I am not sure it is working.
I have phplugins enabled and my guess is that for this cookie control to work across any page a user lands on then it should maybe be located in the phplugins.php file in the /phplugins folder. I pasted the code in that then nothing was visible so I went back to the unadulterated version and the site is working.
I am a novice when it comes to this php stuff so any guidance would be welcome. I have read through the documentation already so if anyone knows how to implement this code I'll be very appreciative.
Thanks

use the hook ttg_head_end to place the script in the page.

Actually, just try adding the script right after the css stuff in the css section of the phplugins file:

function ttg_head_end( $style, $path ) { 
    echo '
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/phplugins/css/custom.css" />

        <script>cookies script</script>    

    ';

Thanks Rod,
I've tried that. The site still works so I'm trying to see if the cookie warning activates now.

php can be tricky (says the person who hardly knows anything about it). A misplaced ; or a missing } can just ruin your day

Or coding under the influence Rod

Is that like Photoshopping with Malbec?
