I saw there are a few auto login hacks available for Xoops.

Is there one in peticular, best and safe suitable for XOOPS 2.0.3 ? There's to much discussion surrounding the information for me to make a good choice.

It has to make use of cookies to store the password, not the database...

Thanks in advance!

I installed the most recent and most complete looking hack to fix the login problem and it didn't do anything (can't remember which one). After reading all the posts and looking at the 3-4 hacks, I still don't know any more than I did before.

So, I'd be interested in any responses to this question as well.

This is the best auto login hack, I think.

The older hacks I tried have troubles like "cannot logout", "must use custom block", "send wrong and long cookie in some environment".

This patch is only for XOOPS 2.0.3.
If you use XOOPS older than 2.0.2, you should upgrade to 2.0.3 or change the patch for common.php.

I prepared an archive includes 4 patched files.
download here

Just upload 4 files, and update system module in module manager.
If you use customized template, patch to the template manually.

You don't have to turn 'custom session' on.

You can set the life time of auto-login(=cookie) by "Session expiration" in General Setting of preferences.

If you use IPBM or phpBB, try Olorin's code.

The autologin feature has now been added to the core on CVS. Thanks to all who have contributed on this hack. This will be present in 2.0.4 which is to be released very soon.

sounds great onu. , I will however wait awhile...my last upgrade really sort of slowed me down for awhile with all the fixes. So it would probably be better to do a fresh install.

Meanwhile however,
I am very happy this feature has finally been made accessible.

With this one: 'JOE,
how does it affect who's online Block, if at all?

Works with globals off?

Thanks!

Just a quick question about this hack:

It seems that the 'remember-me cookie' lifetime and the session lifetime have the same value. Would it be better to separate these so that someone can remain 'logged in' for a long time (e.g. 1 year) without tying up resources (HTTP_SESSION_VARS) for that user. Or have I misinterpretted something? (I haven't had a chance to look at all the modifications very carefully yet.)

I hope that doesn't mean that we should keep session data for a year.

I think that we should at least add a config option in the preferences to be able to set how long auto login cookies can be valid. I also think that this should be an optional feature since this could potentially become a security hole.

Hopefully the version in the core will work. I haven't been able to get any of the hacks to work on my system, and I've noticed a couple of other people say the same thing. Makes me wonder if it's related to the state of the registers.

I'm excited to hear 2.0.4 is coming soon! (Any hints on how soon...? )
