Is a Permanent Login (Auto-Login) Possible?

With 1024 downloads since being posted and only a handful of problems reported, then I'd suggest it's more likely something to do with your installation rather than the mod itself.

Thats why I came here for help. This is such an easy mod that needs no hand coding. So I installed it again. Still no luck.

What should the cookie say or look like? Perhaps its not even being written, but I do get a cookie from the site at the same time I login.....Im happy that 1023 people have this working....Im no coder but the instructions are very easy....I just came here looking for help.

Is it possible this only works for new user accounts?

Nevermind this post. I deleted my account and created a new one with no result.

Sorry - I can't help. I'm no coder either - I merely packaged up the work of others to make installation easy.

Studio, do some detective work... Using firefox.. its all about wheher a cookie got saved in your computer..

Make a new user for zencart, check the 'permanent login' box when you register.
This should create the cookie in your firefox cookie browsers list once processed.

Then in firefox go to:
Tools | options | privacy | click view cookies button,
locate a cookie name similar to 'zencart_cookie_permlogin' ...... if its not there, it won't be possible to be auto logged on later

Cookie 'Content' should be a load of characters long
Cookie 'Domain' will probably be your website without the www, but a dot in front.

Your computer might also be not accepting cookies, there are setup settings for that for each browser. I have the 'allow sites to set cookies' checkbox checked in my firefox (see cookie lists window area).

Difficult to guess further..

There is a cookie placed from the domain (with no period at the front) but nothing that says zencart_cookie_permalogin. I suppose this is not going to work for me. Does this mean it wont work for anyone else from my site?

thanks to those who tried to help...I have since replaced the modded files with the originals and I will leave it as it is.

Could this have something to do with my server's setting?

PS I really don't want to give up on this.!

studeo ........... well ...... either you make it work, or you give up :)

p.m me with the cart url if its web, I can see then if indeed the cookie gets received at all
