Staying logged in

I am currently using XOOPS 2.0.13.2 and have a few of my members asking if there is anyway they can stay logged in.

Basically everytime they revisit the site they have to enter the login and password. Even with keep in a cookie for 1 year ticked they still have to log in, even when clicking a email notification of a new post...

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks
Neil

I am guilty of asking the same question in two places. To tie up the loose ends, see jdseymour's answer in https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=8 - yes, the '2.2' version can work with XOOPS 2.2.3

i just placed GI Joe's hack on my 2.2.3 site and it is working flawlessly. If you have trouble it is probably because of template's not updating.

Thanks for the recommendation - I've now used it on my own site, and it works fine.

I decided to change

[input type="checkbox" name="rememberme" value="On" class
="formButton" /]remember me

to

[input type="hidden" name="rememberme" value="On"]

so that the auto-login option stays on all the time. Hopefully that was a good idea....

The risk here is to people that access the site from a public place or a physically unsecured compter. A computer lab in a university for example.

When person A logs in, since his session can't time out in the usual way, when another person, B, comes up later in the day and goes to your site person B will be logged in as person A. It's a pretty blatent security hole that I'm sure you didn't intend.

I hoped that they would take the trouble to log out... but, having thought about it again, I agree with you and will be changing it back to the original setting!

Thank you very much
