Lack of interest Make "Remember Me" Cookie Duration An Option

[digitalpoint]

Having this hard coded to 7 days is a but obnoxious. I changed the behavior to 180 days in my setup, but it seems like something that should just be a setting.

Where is this code, exactly?

I'll see if this can be made into an add-on with configurable days.

It can... I already did it. Just seems like it should be a core thing.

Sorry I thought you'd posted in the Request forum

I agree it should be core.

Thanks

It's in XenForo_Model_User::setUserRememberCookie()

It's in XenForo_Model_User::setUserRememberCookie()

Changed

XenForo_Helper_Cookie::setCookie('user', $value, 7 * 86400, true);

to

XenForo_Helper_Cookie::setCookie('user', $value, 180 * 86400, true);

Thanks Shawn

Thanks Shawn

Even i don't think we'll see any xenforo upgrades in 2012, you shouldn't edit the xenforo core files

interested in an addon?
