'Remember Me' Checked by Default in Navbar · **Released**: 09-30-2006

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  section):

Code:

<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:

Code:

<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.

If you use this template mod, please, click INSTALL.

this is a bad hack. this produces unexpected behavior.

people dont expect that value to be checked by default. what if logging on at a public computer?

this hack is evidently for people who DO NOT NOTICE the checkbox.

so do you think they are going to uncheck it? obviously not. and then on top of that...people who do know its there but do not expect it to be checked wont even look over to see that its checked.

anyway...like i said. bad hack. i wouldnt install. when you program its best to stay away from programming things like this. a better option would be fore a javascript popup to appear and point to the remember me checkbox when the user mouses over the login area.

If you don't like it, then feel free to not use it. Some people might prefer that it be checked by default, some won't.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I was born in, raised in, and currently reside in Milwaukee. I've driven through Sheboygan countless times on my way up to Door County and Green Bay. I've stopped off there a few times to eat, too. It's a nice city.

I see you're stuck in St. Paul now? I'm sorry to hear that. I lived in Minneapolis for several years. How are you dealing with the Vikings fans?

I hope the places you've eaten in Sheboygan were local...there are some excellent greasy spoon-type diners with delicious cheeseburgers on hardrolls...just brought 2 dozen rolls home with me! That's the one thing I miss the most about living there, but thank goodness I can still buy Johnsonville brats here! Sheboygan used to be a nicer city, like when I was a kid...Sheboygan Falls is a nicer place.

I love living here in Saint Paul! Can't stand Minneapolis, though. And dealing with the Viking fans is a real pain in my butt! I can tell you've totally got me pegged for a die-hard Packer fan, and you'd be 100% right!:up:
