Every blog has to some starting point. Might as well be me.

Recently we had a client request the 'Remember Me' function be changed to allow the user
to close the browser and when they return their user name would be already filled into the
login form

Well here is how we did it in Dolphin 6.16

Open member.php

Find :

// Check if ID and Password are correct (addslashes already inside)
if ( check_login( $member['ID'], $member['Password'] ) )
{
$iCookieTime = 0;

if (isset($_POST['rememberMe']) && $_POST['rememberMe'])
$iCookieTime = time() + 24*60*60*30;

setcookie( "memberID", $_COOKIE['memberID'], time() - 24*60*60, '/' );
setcookie( "memberPassword", $_COOKIE['memberPassword'], time() - 24*60*60, '/' );
setcookie( "memberID", $member['ID'], $iCookieTime, '/' );
setcookie( "memberPassword", $member['Password'], $iCookieTime, '/' );
//setcookie( 'userArray', 'aUser' . $member['ID'] );
$update_res = db_res( "UPDATE `Profiles` SET `DateLastLogin` = NOW() WHERE `ID` = {$member['ID']}" );
createUserDataFile( $member['ID'] );

Change to:

// Check if ID and Password are correct (addslashes already inside)
if ( check_login( $member['ID'], $member['Password'] ) )
{
$iCookieTime = 0;

if (isset($_POST['rememberMe']) && $_POST['rememberMe']){

$the_user = db_value("SELECT NickName FROM Profiles WHERE ID = '".$member['ID']."'");

$iCookieTime = mktime (0, 0, 0, 12, 31, 2015); // time() + 24*60*60*30;
setcookie( "whoIsMe", $the_user, $iCookieTime, '/' );
}

setcookie( "memberID", $_COOKIE['memberID'], time() - 24*60*60, '/' );
setcookie( "memberPassword", $_COOKIE['memberPassword'], time() - 24*60*60, '/' );
setcookie( "memberID", $member['ID'], $iCookieTime, '/' );
setcookie( "memberPassword", $member['Password'], $iCookieTime, '/' );
//setcookie( 'userArray', 'aUser' . $member['ID'] );
$update_res = db_res( "UPDATE `Profiles` SET `DateLastLogin` = NOW() WHERE `ID` = {$member['ID']}" );
createUserDataFile( $member['ID'] );

Open /templates/tmpl_xxx/login_form.html

Find :

<input type="text" name="ID" class="login_form_input" />

Replace with:

<input type="text" name="ID" class="login_form_input" value="__name_saver__" />

Open /join.php

Find:

$ret = file_get_contents( $template );

foreach( $aFormReplace as $key => $val )
$ret = str_replace( "__{$key}__", $val, $ret );

return $ret;

Replace with:

Part 3 to follow...

Open:

/templates/tmp_xxx/login_form_ajax.html

Find:

<input type="text" name="ID" class="login_form_input"  />

Replace with:

<input type="text" name="ID" class="login_form_input" value="__name_saver__" />
