Geeklog Forums

With user preferences (account info link), users can tell a GeekLog install to remember them for up to 1 year.

Is it possible to have this setting automatically set to 1 year when a new member is created? The reason for this is because a lot of users don't really spare the time to go into the preferences and change them and if those users have to log in every time they'll quickly get bored of that.

So is it possible? If so, then HOW?

I set-up something to this effect on my site. I wrote a script to update the users table nightly. See query below: DB_query("UPDATE {$_TABLES['users']} SET cookietimeout=31536000"; I also removed the "remember me" drop down box from usersettings.php (see edituser()). Not the best solution but, it works.---Danny @ squatty.com

Couldn't you adjust the default_perm_cookie_timeout in config.php instead? $_CONF['default_perm_cookie_timeout'] = 604800; 604800 seconds = 7 days

Yep, that would work too. My hack pre-dates the session settings in config.php.---Danny @ squatty.com
