Concussion4 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Hello, The e-commerce website i am running deals with mostly women, and young teenage girls to around 30 years old. I have a feeling alot of them might forget the password they pick, etc. So i would like to set it up so that the cookies keep them logged in forever. So once they log in, they will never have to log in again unless they log out. I have seen this on other sites, i just am not sure if OsCommerce supports this. I couldnt find anything about this in the configuration file, so i was hoping one of you more knowledge people could point me in the right direction for the information, or tell me the information i am looking for. :) Thanks alot for the advice in advance, this is a great forum for knowledge :D
TCwho Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 In General most Browsers will store your password used while loggin in to Sites Browsers for example: Internet Explorer (includes AOL Browser), Netscape, Opera...etc oh lets not forget FIREFOX :thumbsup: (my preferred choice) Drop_Shadow How Did You Hear About Us Email HTML Order Link ---- GMT -5:00

I was wondering though if there was anyway to not only store it, but make it so they dont have to type it in at all. Maybe it is just the way i have my IE set up, but for some reason if i log into my store, close the window, and then go to my store again i would have to log back in and that is what i was trying to get around. I will try it in my firefox window and see if it is just the way i have IE set up.
TCwho Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 yup, its the way you have it setup... If I log in to my store...I will stay logged in even after I close out my windows..... Drop_Shadow How Did You Hear About Us Email HTML Order Link ---- GMT -5:00

Also something weird that happend to me is i logged in, and if i would click say, Cart contents or shopping cart, i would be asked to log in again sometimes before seeing the page. Think i have my cookies set up wrong? Im using a shares SSL. http://www.wordwidereplica.com/catalog/ is my website, nothing is changed from a fresh install except a template.
