'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.


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

Reserved, just in case.

Shouldn't it be checked="checked" ?

We also edit the various error message templates as you can login with them as well.

Both "checked" and "on" seem to work, but I think "checked" might be more common, so I'll edit that. Thanks.

So that cookies are automatically set when users are logging in via the navbar. For example, I have plenty of users who log in, don't check that box, play in the arcade, and by the time they've finished the game their cookie has expired and it doesn't save the score.

There is actually a very good reason why it is off by default. When people use internet caf?s or the likes and they forget to log off, they don't have to worry about their account getting hijacked.

You could put checked="humptydumpty" there and it would still work, because all you need is checked by itself. The rest is there for XHTML compliance.

If you don't like it, don't install it. And if you wasted less time writing dots you could spend more time learning the difference between there, they are and their.

That had to have been the most difficult mod I've made so far!

Thanks for sharing,
