Hopefully I got this right. The book falls apart a bit in the later chapters. (I just noticed that it references "auth.settings.allows_basic_login = False" in that chapter, but it should be "allow", not "allows".)
Here's what I did: # [BUG] No idea if this actually works. def stay_logged(x): if auth.user: session.auth.expiration = response.session_cookie_expires = auth.settings. long_expiration session.auth.remember_me = True auth.settings.remember_me_form = False auth.settings.long_expiration=36000000 # seconds auth.settings.login_onaccept = stay_logged I'd be more confident if it didn't kick errors at me saying stay_logged() has to take a variable, since I'm not sure what variable it's being fed. Thanks for your help on this.
