How do I get ssi_login() to allow user to select session expiration

[geomouchet]

I have smf 1.1.14.   I am using the SMF login system for my entire web site.  It works fine except everyone is always permanently logged in.  This is OK for most users, but not real great for anyone using a public computer.  Is there any option or setting that would allow the user to check "remember me" or set the login cookie expiration?  If so, where do I set it?

I just noticed that if I go to index.php?action=login it does have options for minutes to stay logged in and always stay logged in.  How to I get those same options into the login box created by ssi_login()?

In case anyone has the same issue, here is the solution:

Edit SSI.php
Copy the ssi_login function
Change the name to my_login
Add this to the login form:
<select name="cookielength">
  <option value="60">for 1 Hour</option>
  <option value="1440">for 1 Day</option>
  <option value="-1" selected="selected">until you log out</option>
</select>
