Remember me box automatically ticked
 

Default Check 'Remember Me'

This little template modification will guide you through the few simple steps that will make the '[ ] Remember Me' checkbox automatically checked.


Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Dropdown: Edit Templates > Navigation / Breadcrumb templates > navbar

Find the following piece of code:
At the end, before the /> add checked="checked", which will then look like this:

Save and you're done!

Nice!

Good effort.

But i think forcing ppl to click "remember me" is not a good idea at all.
Imagine if they were to surf the forum at an internet cafe , the damage is huge. :eek:

You don't have to use it. :)

And all that would take is a simple "Clear Cookies". ;)

Does not work on vb 3.6.8

This does indeed work with 3.6.8, as that's what it was originally created for ;)

Regards Jason :)

nope, i tried and it does not work

I know for a fact it works, so I don't know where your going wrong, not that you can.

Regards Jason :)

Hi,

Very useful !

But now, do you have something for template's;

standard_error
standard_error_lite
standard_error_login

Thx

Works on 3.6.8 too. Installed!

I see this as a major security flaw.

Thanks, Paul.

Explain that? If a vB developer said it was OK ... then why is it a security flaw?

In fact, if you've got negative comments, then please don't post at all. I am sick of people complaining about peoples hacks/mods ect. if you can do better, then by all means do it. :)

Regards Jason :)

works perfectly. Thanks.

Then you need to have your eyes checked. ;)

hehe...I agree!

Regards Jason :)

thanks

...what a great idea Jason... thanks for this...
work like a charm to my vB 3.6.8 PL2

best regards...

This actually solves more problems then it could ever create. Trust me, some users just have so many problems with signing in, I have no idea what they do wrong, but this quite often will solve the problem for them.

I agree hornstar1337. My users were having problems getting logged out all the time ect, so this was the solution. :)

thank GOD !! now I dont have to click the stupid box everytime I login to my site...

I mean I clear cookies anyway...
I mean it makes me stay logged in even if I dont check the box...
As a matter of fact I think the box doesnt even work to be honest...

But great hack.:)

thanks using since long time ago on my site

thanks so much for this simple hack. works like a charm on 3.7 RC3.

I've used this before and now using it again. Thanks! :up:

thank you very useful

Works like a charm Thanks.

thanks, how about having this feature same when ppl get error message when they are trying to access a restricted section

Not sure what you mean, but there is nothing else you can do with this hack...

im refering to this language phrase not_logged_no_permission
on that error message it allows to login with the remember me box wheere ppl can tick

This is an extremely simple and useful template edit, all it does is ticks something which is unticked by default. I don't see how anyone can be reporting problems with it, lol.

I see what you mean. That can be achieved, but not with this hack ;)

I actually have the remember be box ticked with the standard_error

There are 4 places for the remember me checkbox:

navbar
STANDARD_ERROR
STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN
STANDARD_ERROR_LITE

I did a str_replace for all of them for the Ultimate Navbar hack.

Great mod. This will greatly help new members to not have as much log in problems

nice dude

Works like a charm Thanks.

this feature is also implemented into THIS hack :)

Great thanks!

thanks! for the life of me i can never remember where to edit that bit of code. lol. as for the "security" problem that was mentioned, i only see it being an issue of security on a public computer. like at a library or at work where somebody else that frequents your site would use the same computer. not really an issue on my board, as most of them are well aware of the "security issues" that this edit causes ... but if thats the norm for your users then i would suggest for you to simply not to do it. :rolleyes:

Cracking little Template MOD .... THANKS

_marked_as_installed

nice little hack..thanks!

I didn't use this hack for the "Remember Me" box, however I used part of the code to automatically tick another box I wanted ticked.

So thanks, I'll mark it as installed :)
