Make 'Remember Me' on Comments Default

Vote 0 Votes

I want to remove the "Remember Me" input on my comments form and automatically remember the commenter by default. I guess I have to turn on the cookie automagically somehow.

Any clue how I do that?

Thanks!

  • Change the template option for bakecookie from a checkbox to a hidden input type in the Comment Form and set the default value to 1. I would also strip out the javascript as it no longer has a function.

  • Perfect. Thank you!

  • Hi Clifton,

    Can you show us what you did? I'm having trouble with this. It seems to be remembering my info just fine after the first time I fill it in, but every visit after that, it isn't automatically filling it in inside the form. It exists but doesn't show there, which is a problem! Also, I can't change the information.

    When I make the checkbox visible, it never comes up checked by default, no matter the value.

    I can't seem to find answers anywhere else. Help!

    Thanks,

    Erika

  • Ok, I can't edit my above post... I got it working by just starting over from original code in that block. Unfortunately, while it now emembers (and fills in) information, if I change it, it doesn't actually change in the submission. That might be a problem sometimes. I couldn't seem to clear my cookie.

  • Hey there,

    I've continued to have trouble with this. When I put the hidden value in, it didn't work as expected. This cookie has given me trouble in multiple ways.

    Sorry I'm not more help. Let me know if you get anything figured out. Good luck!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
