Request: Persistent Logins about organizr HOT 6 CLOSED

We can just change the session time of the logins, it is currently in the users.php file. I'll see about making it a custom variable.

A per user basis would be awesome but if it's just the admin account that can be easily increased or sit indefinitely that would be awesome

I found the issue. Currently, the PHPSESSID cookie that gets created has a default lifetime of '0' and is destroyed when the browser closes. So closing the browser completely causes the user to have to log back in when they open it. I added the following to the top of user.php and it now works as I hoped:

$lifetime=86400; // (86400=24 Hours)
$path='/';
$domain='.domain.com';
session_name('organizr_session');
session_start();
setcookie(session_name(),session_id(),time()+$lifetime,$path,$domain);

To match, I also changed, though I'm not sure if this gets renewed every time the page is refreshed.
const time_out = 86400;

It sets the cookie lifetime to 24 hours and renews it whenever the user visits the page. Therefore, they'd have to not visit at all for 24 hours, the cookie would expire, and they'd have to log back in.

yea, we are using PHP Session variables instead of Cookies for security reasons.

I will follow up on this prior to v1.0 :)
