Hello,

I used to turn on sessions (in XOOPS settings) so that users stay logged in for a little while.
Now I use the autologin hack, so users always stay logged in. But i'm not sure i have to enable or disable sessions in the XOOPS settings, when using this hack? Now i've turned it off, but i dont's know what the consequences are for serverload etc.
What is the best setting when using autologin hack?

You do not need custom sessions with the auto login hack. Sessions can be created and expire normally, You just no longer need to login each time.

ah ok

And i do have another question about this hack. Now I have set that the password is stored for 3 months. Default this is one week or something like that. Does this have negative consequenses for serverload or something else? My site has about 80 unique visitors a day (and sessions turned off).

Is there more than one Autologin hack? Or a preferred one?

I'm running XOOPS 2.0.9.2

I dont think you'll have a problem at all.
Storing it longer maybe more of a security risk. But otherwise, its fine.

While there is not only one autologin hack, I preferr GIJOE's, which can be found here. I suggest, that you first upgrade to at least 2.0.9.3, because of a vulnerability in the core uploader class.
