How to Hide "Length of Session" Box?

[Mike_B]

Hi

Is there a simple way to do the above on the default theme?

What I want to do is have every user login forever (which is what they did in my old forum which I have ported from phpBB to SMF (and SMF is much better  )).

So visually they would just have a name and password box (and no session length which would return automatically the forever value).

I did find an old post on this where someone raised the question and was told off for wanting to do it lol... Well each to his own I guess but I ain't trying to commit murder here lol just a minor mod 

cheers

Mike

If you look at the html code you'll see that on index.template a <select> is used for the sessionlength. If you rather replace that with a hidden form tag with the value you want, it should work. Like:

<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>

to:

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