Increase logged in cookie time.

[top50servers]

Alot of my users are complaining that they have to login everyday when using my site. I was wondering if there is a value I can change that will on increase the login time for a user (won't effect voting cookies/other cookies on the site).

Any help with this one?

well first, congrats on having an engaging enough list where you have users logging in every day that is an extreme rarity.

We have no hooks in this file, so you will need to modify the file directly.

sources/misc/session.php

find:

  // Delete sessions that are over an hour old
  $check_time = time() - 3600;

replace with:

  // Delete sessions that are over a week old
  $check_time = time() - 604800;

You can set the value to whatever you like, 604800 is 1 week.
