Getting session Id in twig template

Question

Is there a way to get the session id from craft.session in a twig template without needing to create a new filter?

Answer 1

Old post, I know, but we've recently published a plugin to achieve this for a similar problem we were facing.

SessionExposer plugin can help you achieve this. To get the Session ID in the template you use

{{ craft.sessionExposer.sessionId }}

Answer 2

I assume you're referring to the PHP session ID (wrapped by HttpSessionService)?

If so, the answer is no - Craft doesn't expose that to the templates. You'd have to write a plugin that did.
