FrontEndUsers - From Sessions to Cookies

Post by pgoneill »

OK, so I've been asked to change the way FrontEndUsers handles logins - no more sessions, we want cookies now, so that when someone comes back, they don't have to constantly enter their username/password.

Any thoughts on where I should start?  My PHP proficiency is beginner level.

Actually, I'd look at it if I have time, which I don't at the moment.... unless there's an incentive ?
