Is a Permanent Login (Auto-Login) Possible?

[harry2cool]

You may be able to see the log off page, however try getting to the login page again where say you want to login using another email id,
I am not able to see that page.
I deleted all cookies and tried the same.

There was a cookie named (something like) zencart_permanent_login that, when deleted, restored the login/create-account page. That cookie is not part of this plugin.

When I do not click the "Check Box" to remember the account, the login and logout page functions fine.
When I check it, the issue of not getting to the login page occurs.
This checkbox is a part of the plug-in hence am wondering what else could be.

Also when I disable this module from Customer Details, the login page is visible.

There is no other contribution for this function too.

What more could we look into ?

You should use your admin's Tools->Developers Tool Kit to search for zencart_cookie_permlogin to identify which module is forcing this login.

Thanks, this issue is solved, I deleted all the older traces of this module from the header_php.php page.

A new issue I face is, when one clicks on "Log In" from the Homepage and after logging in the page gets back to the homepage, the link on top still shows as "Log In" instead of "Log Out"
When we go to any other page after this, we get automatically logged in.

What can we check.

Setting the value of "Automatic Login (days to remember)" to 0 does solve this issue.
However want the cookie to remember customer login for aleast 30 days
What does 0 mean ? is this like remember for ever till cookie is not cleared ?

The Cookie Lifetime identifies the number of days to keep the customer logged in; a value of 0 (or a negative number or a non-numeric value) translates to the default value (14 days).

I suggest that you download v1.3.8 of the plugin (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=332) and, using a file-comparison tool like Beyond Compare or WinMerge, remove all remnants of the previous version.

I've submitted v1.4.2 to the plugins for review:

• Include a SQL uninstall script
• Update template-override files to use ZC 1.5.5 as their change-basis.

v1.4.2 is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=332
