View spearfish's "5 minute fix" to implement this idea:spearfish wrote:As a PHP programmer, I know that this is about a five minute fix. Come on lack, your five minutes could save the rest of us hours (scary thought: if it takes 15 seconds to log in, and you log in five times a day for a year, you've spent 7 hours and 36 minutes doing nothing but filling in that form).
I'll even code it in for you if you want. Ready?
Add to login.php:
$inThreeMonths = 60 * 60 * 24 * 90 + time();
setcookie("account", $_POST['username'], $inThreeMonths, '/');
Then on the login form, change:
<input class="field" name="username" id="username" maxlength="16" value="" tabindex="1" type="text">
To:
<input class="field" name="username" id="username" maxlength="16" value="<?php $_COOKIE['account'] ?>" tabindex="1" type="text" />
That will result in the username being sticky for three months. Then you can add a "forget me" link.
Here's what that is (forget.php):
setcookie ("account", "", time() - 3600);
header(" Location: http://www.conquerclub.com/ ");

Making the user stay logged in would be as changing the php.ini if you use sessions, or setting an expiration time if you use cookies. I don't have your login.php script so I can't help there.
Not sure if anyone has suggested this yet...
But what about an 'automatic log-in' feature. I hate having to type my username and password in every time. Maybe I'm just lazy.
so now i manually log in.
