Is it possible to reverse the order of time period when logging in ?
Possible? Sure. But only by modifying the code. There's no user friendly way at this time.
For my own part, I'd prefer to see the "Always stay logged in" option at the top and then the rest of the options in their current order below that.
Honestly, I would rather replace the whole thing with a simple "Remember me" check box, but that idea is known to provoke heated debate.
Honestly I'd simplify this away to just having "always stay logged in" as a tickbox or have the cookie last for the session. That's a little trickier to do but I can point you in the direction of what would need changing to make that a thing.
a checkbox would indeed be much better

That was exactly what I had in mind. Always stay logged in as the default,

Thanks Arantor. This is beyond my capabilities. I'll wait for another day.
Never understood the importance of having the end user choose. I usually remove it, and "<input hidden" the 'always stay logged in' option. If someone wants to be forgotten, they log out, plain and simple.
If you're interested in that, let me know
The trick is, it really isn't quite that simple with SMF's architecture, especially on the occasions SMF will rebuild the cookie that aren't directly attached to login.

Thanks, but we would like the options. Only the Always logged in should be the default.
@Arantor, I couldn't locate the ".hbs" files or the templates folder. If the rest of the changes are made, will that do.
Have never understood why there's the options. On all my production forums I've always removed it and set cookielength to -1. It's never caused a problem, and no one has ever complained.
It's like our minds are connected via telekinesis.
Ummmm... wrong word.
Tele kinesis is moving something without touching it
Tele pathy is communication across distance -- in common usage, communication mind to mind
Clairvoyance is seeing without physical presence
Clairaudeince is hearing without physical presence
Precognition is knowledge before happening
Etc etc etc

Of course you won't be able to find the hbs files, since this is my fork of SMF that totally replaced the entire template system with one that breaks less if you happen to do something weird with it. But you will need to change the login templates, mostly in Login.template.php.
It was mostly posted as a reference for some enterprising mod maker as to all the other changes that might be relevant with the templates being obvious for them.
@arantor Can we see it?

There isn't a public site using it yet, even the private betas are a bit out of date and in any case I guarantee the fork is not suitable for most SMF users.
I just shared the changes as I'd recently done them and it seemed like a relevant useful starting place.
I remember you used to work on Wedge, though I haven't heard of any activity on that in a while
I left Wedge 6 years ago, though this is getting a bit off topic. Clash of personalities.
StoryBB is a completely different beast with very specific ideas of what type of forums it wants to support - namely not normal ones. But it is still mostly 2.1 code except for the themes at this point.
Cool! 👍👍
