'Remember Me' Checked by Default in Navbar

Ok, so this is a painfully simple Template Modification, but I'm sure there are plenty of vBulletin users who would love to have the 'Remember Me' box on the navbar login form checked by default, so here it is:

Find the following in your navbar template (Its within the <!-- login form --> section):

<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>

Change it to this:

<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>

You'll be adding the part that's highlighted in green at the end of the 'replacement' code and telling the browser to check that box by default.

I have a request? Anyway to make this default off but once clicked it would remember each time you come back. As well as an option in the usercp to set default yes or no.

once clicked you remain logged in until your cookie expires, thus once your cookie expires it wont remember you ticked it

so the answer is no. sorry.

See the previous post for an answer to that first part, but I really like this idea. Look for it in a future release. I can't guarantee it'll be in the next few weeks because I'm pretty busy irl, but I'll definately work on it.

I know this is possible. May not be how the code is designed but its possible.
I am saying some people want this on by default and some don't. I think if its up to the user to have it on or off and leave it up to them because depending on if they are an admin having it save their info is not cool if the its a huge board thats a huge security risk if they forget to uncheck the save password. If it would remember that you check it and then when you come back what ever it was last set would be cool. maybe if there was some type of cookie that would save to remember this on that computer or when you type your user name if it could check the userr name and the user name's setting in their cp for this password remember as you click on password then the check box would change value based on what the userscp is set to. I am not trying to get into a debate about it I am just trying to find a way to make this mod a better mod and less of a security hazard but if the way i am thinking is too complex and is not possible and more of a security hazard then whatever. But i do see what your saying Hornstar about the it not able to know who to check into the db becuz everyone is a guest.

Well, that's way above my level of coding for vB, but I'll defiantely work on implementing an on/off switch somewhere in the admincp.

That would be cool. Keep up the good work.

[Hornstar]

im fully with you, it would be cool, but the chances of seeing it anytime soon are quite slim. and im no expert but i feel doing some of the above may actually make it a little more insecure then secure lol but i aint no expert so i dont know for sure.
