Cookie Configuration - they stay logged in

[krohn]

What I'm trying to do is set it so that they will be cookied for say 30 days. Anytime they visit the site they're logged back in.

 

In catalog/classes/sessions.php

 

I've found var $cookie_lifetime = 0;

I set this to 30 and it isn't keeping the person logged in. Has anybody out there done this?

 

Thanks,

Martin

The next thing I found was in includes/application_top.php

 

if (function_exists('session_set_cookie_params')) {

session_set_cookie_params(0, substr(DIR_WS_CATALOG, 0, -1));

 

I'm having trouble finding where OSC sets the cookie timeout

Is cookie_lifetime going to make it in days? I think cookie lifetimes are in seconds...

I'm not sure....

 

I just tried a really high number to see if this is even the right variable for me to be playing with.

var $cookie_lifetime = 3650000;

 

I've pulled up the Mozilla cookie manager and it tells me the cookie expires at the end of the session. What I want to do is make that cookie expire like say 30 days in the future.

 

I'm not sure where I even need to be editing right now. I'm using dreamweaver to search the whole directory for words like cookie and expire and taking a look at various places the searches pull up. I've searched the forum and taken a look through the contributions and I haven't found anything that covers this yet. I am still searching though :)

It's hard finding things in the user contribution section cause there's so many ;)

 

I'm downloading this contribution now but it looks like it'll do what I'm looking for!
