MetaMegaProtoUser has hooks -- onLogIn, onLogOut, and autologinFunc -- that you can use. autologinFunc is called when loggedIn_? is called and no user is logged in, to give you a chance to log one in. So you can create a cookie in onLogIn, delete it in onLogOut, and read it in autologinFunc. ------------------------------------- Jeppe Nejsum Madsen<je...@ingolfs.dk> wrote:

I.e. 1) On login, create cookie with id, add mapping id->user to table 2) On logout, clear the cookie, remove mapping from table 3) If you see a request without an http session, but with valid cookie, lookup the user id in table and autologin the user 4) Periodically, clean table for entries more than 30 days old /Jeppe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
