:banana: How do I add the

[_] Remember username/password checkbox

thing which appears just under the log in username/password name input boxes of some of the vBulletin boards I've seen... (I was just told it will be a standard feature of vB 3.0 .0) Can I get some coding that can make this feature on my board now?

seems like just a couple of simple lines of code, has anyone done this?

This is already a preference in the user CP.

:surprised: It is? My fav vB'er Stevie M. just directed me over here from the non vBorg board with the idea that it would have to be a hack request if I wanted it for a NON 3.0.0 board.

What is the sequence I would use to get to this selection on my current board (vb2.3.0)?


Control Panel ==> ______?? ==> ______??

Just look around...it's pretty obvious when you see it.

:cry: Ummmm, I looked, but I'm kinda doubtful of that....?

vBulletin Threadlink

That's a vB3 feature. Adding this to 2.3.0 requires hacking. You can ask over at vbulletin.org.

Xube, what you're looking for is the same thing, just different text: "Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies)"

No guys, from what I can tell, you are referring to an individual user changing his preferences from within his own control panel so that when he logs onto a board it sets permanent cookies. What I'm trying to add is a lil' check box on the main page of a board. The check box appears next to the USERNAME & PASSWORD log in boxes... by checking this check box ...and then entering your password when you are on the board's welcome page it sets your login cookies to the type so that it automatically re-logs you on when you revisit the board... (ie: it allows users to make this change without ever having to go to their individual user control panel)

Look here: vBulletin.com main board page

.... at the top of that page of vB 3.0.0. (I guess the only way you will be able to see it is if you haven't already set your prefs to automatically log you on when you go over and visit vBulletin.com) right under the Username/Password login boxes is a 3rd small box that you can check if you want your logon to be automatic on visits.

:banana: Is this a doable?

This is identical to the user CP, just putting the checkbox on a different page.

No, the coding would have to be different, because in the user control panel, the selection process consists of TWO radio buttons. You either select YES or NO. Not the same thing as having a single checkbox as on the 3.0.0 board. The coding input logic is different.
