Geeklog Forums

I would like to add an always logged in, tick box to the user page, and I was wondering if anyone knew if this is possible, and how it could be achieved, thanks.

Earlier versions of Geeklog had an option to stay logged in for a year. It has been removed for security considerations, though.

Basically, what you would have to do is to set the expiry date for the 'password' cookie to, say, a few years in the future (you can't have a cookie that never expires). See usersettings.php for how this works at the moment (search for "setcookie").

thanks

so I'm guessing

setcookie ($_CONF['cookie_theme'], $A['theme'], time() + 31536000,

if i edit this for example to + 5184000 it would change the 1 month logged in time, to 2 months? as I'm guessing the options work off this one number and just divide it to fix the specific time frames.

So I would basically need to edit the user selections, any hints on where that can be found (the block/drop down menu)

thanks

I would also like to give my users the ability to stay logged in (but with a 24 hour timer). I just can't seem to figure out how, having tried all of the above mentioned.

I'm quite happy to just make it the default policy, but what do I change to make the cookie expiration date today plus 86400 seconds? I'm running version 1.3.11sr1.

Even just a tiny hint?

The default is set in config.php:
