Will removing "stay logged in for" cause problems?

I removed the dropdown in the login module where you may choose for how long
to stay logged in. Will this cause any greater problems for my users?

Did you assign a hidden input value in its place?

It is important to setting the cookie length.  The variable the dropdown menu sets must be assigned and inputted by the form, if even by hidden input.

Probably it would be best to set it to "forever".. Since most people never touch that menu.

Here's the original code:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />
', $context['current_time'], '<br />

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=mambo_login" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:'.$smf_align.';">
Username:<input type="text" name="user" size="10" /><br />
Password:<input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
<br />[b]Stay logged in for: <select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
<option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
</select>[/b]
<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="op2" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="returnurl" value="', $params->get('login'),'" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="',$mosConfig_lang,'" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="',$mosConfig_live_site,'/',basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),'?',$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],'" />
<input type="hidden" name="message" value="',$message_login,'" />
......


And here's the modified code:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />
', $context['current_time'], '<br />

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=mambo_login" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:'.$smf_align.';">
Användare:<br /><input type="text" name="user" size="10" /><br />
Lösenord:<br /><input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" /><br />
                            <input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" />
  <br /><input type="hidden" name="op2" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="returnurl" value="', $params->get('login'),'" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="',$mosConfig_lang,'" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="',$mosConfig_live_site,'/',basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),'?',$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],'" />
<input type="hidden" name="message" value="',$message_login,'" />

what value do I need to put in? And where..
I guess I should put -1 somewhere...

<input type="hidden" name="cookielength" value="-1">
