Title: Remember Me and other updates
Post by: matt on July 24, 2013, 09:28:29 pm
Hey all,

I finally fixed the "Remember Me" function at login. If you log out, login and select the "Remember Me" checkbox, you should be all set. If you have any issues with it please let me know.

Also - just as a teaser - we've got another BIG update coming next week. It is a feature that many have asked for...

Also part 2 - just fixed an issue with editing release dates. It appears that developer and publisher is still broken. Those fixes are coming soon.

Also part 3 - just added the pages to see who is following you and who you are following. No details there yet but you can see the names

EDIT - Some more updates:

Added collection, wish/sell list user links to the Following and Followers pages
Added Amazon Buy links to the item pages - Use these to support VGCollect if you ever buy anything from Amazon.
Added some ads to the item pages - yes I know ads are evil but they are only on those item pages to target random Google visitors. They will never appear on our collection pages.

Cool! I've been having to re-login so many times now that I've forgotten the Remember Me feature wasn't working and it became a subconscious routine lol

The idea is to make the site better, not turn it into a pit of sadness and regret.  Besides, you can find tons of those pics on google.  soera's an 8bit floozie.

Has anyone noticed this **not** working? I'm having some issues with it and haven't been able to track down the source.

Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I assumed it's because I'm logging in from different computers? The computers being my home and work computers.

Yeah, that's what it seems to be doing on mine. Once I do "remember me" on a certain computer, it stays that way as I check in on it again through the day. But when I switch from that work computer to my home comp, it needs to "remember me" again.

ahh good point. I wrote it in a way that the remember me cookie has a unique key assigned on login. If we login on a different system (phone, work PC, etc) that key will be invalid. Hmm...I'm not sure if there is any other secure way to do this.

I'll be the first to admit I don't really know web design, but is there a way to have multiple unique keys? As oxymoronic as that sounds lol.

haha I probably could update it to store multiple keys - I'll add it to the todo list under the other 2,000 items :)

When you login, I create a long random string that is unique to you. That string is stored in the database as well as in a cookie on your PC. When you come back and visit the site, it checks for that cookie and checks to see if that key matches what is in the database. I think the way it is setup will work for most users. Those of us who jump around multiple devices will probably just have to login each time because the key is reissued on each login.

I thought that might be how you handled it. I'd say storing multiple keys would work. Maybe 5 at most? If you have more than 5 devices accessing the site well too bad lol.
