Auto-Login question

Hi,

 

I just don't get the auto-login feature. What is the idea of the auto-login? I thought that this feature would prevent the user of having to type user and password each time he/she tries to login to the site. But SkinUtils.logout() deletes the cookie each time the user logs out. Therefore, the only way to achieve an auto-login (the way I want) is to close the browser in the middle of the session instead of performing a log out.

 

What is the idea of this feature?

 

Thanks,

Gato,

 

Yes, clicking logout removes the cookie. The idea is that you simply wouldn't log-out (but would if you decided to turn off auto-login, etc). What we should probably do is go to a special page when the user clicks log-out that explains what will happen if auto-login is turned on.

 

Do you have another suggestion?

 

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

 

I like the idea of the explanation before logging out. May be something nice to have is a kind of "Remember me" like www.avantgo.com does for user that prefer to log out.
