Purpose of Module

The Remember Me module allows your customers to choose to be remembered between visits to your store. When they login to their account, they have the option of allowing your store to remember who they are, even if they close their browser or shut down their computer.

Using Tokens

If you are using a templating system that blocks the OpenUI hookpoints that normally called Remember Me, it may not function properly. Remember Me offers tokens that can be used within templating systems for proper use. These tokens are:

Checkbox: %module|NBREMEM|checkbox% will display the checkbox that the customer can check in order to be remembered by the store.

Text: %module|NBREMEM|text% will display the prompt that is shown next to the checkbox, as configured in the module's admin.

Cookie: %module|NBREMEM|cookie% will output the cookie meta tag that is used to store the unique id used by Remember Me to automatically log the customer back in on future visits. This token is only needed if the templating system overrides the <head>... </head> section of the MIVA Merchant page. This token should be used between the .opening <head> and closing </head> tags.

Remember that the token format within Viking Coder's template modules requires an extra pipe before the last percent sign. For example: %module|NBREMEM|checkbox|%.
