GIJOE isn't exactly missing ... he is still posting on his site at
http://www.peak.ne.jp/xoops/ occasionally. I think he is still trying to recuperate from the mumps he had a couple weeks ago.
I am in the same boat as you, with myself and my members really liking the AutoLogin feature. I tried modifying all the files myself but all I really succeeded in doing was confusing myself
I have posted on GIJOE's site asking about not only the AutoLogin but also the BlocksAdmin module. So far ... no response ... but I only posted about the BlocksAdmin literally a few minutes ago.
Will post here when I know something concrete.
