Increase mod cookie expiration time

[frozenpandaman]

I have to sign back into mod.php almost every single time I open the page, even if my last visit was only an hour ago. Is there a way to increase the time until the cookie expires?

Should be this https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/blob/master/inc/config.php#L177

Check if your browser has cookies enabled or check if installed all necessary PHP dependencies, also check if you have this enabled https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichan/blob/master/inc/config.php#L183

@crazy4cars69 My browser has cookies enabled, yeah – this is happening on both mobile and desktop, so I'm fairly sure it's something server-side, not just me. I'm checking the mod cookie in my browser and it indeed being set properly… e.g. signing in now makes one that expires in July.

I haven't overridden $config['cookies']['expire'] or $config['cookies']['httponly'] in my inc/instance-config.php so it should be reading both of those default values from inc/config.php. I'm not exactly sure what that second one is doing though or why it's named that (httponly).

Is your ip address changing? Or is cloudflare properly configured to pass through ips?

[frozenpandaman]

@RealAngeleno Sorry for the super late reply. No, IP address is not changing. Not sure about Cloudflare stuff…

[RealAngeleno]

Ok that's interesting. Sorry for the very late reply as well. I should try to know more about your own vichan setup and see what's going on.

We got this in the beginning. First reason was nginx configuration without setting the visitor's IP from cf. And the second reason was because it was changing between ipv6 and ipv4.

For CF you could fix with (only have ipv4):

	set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22;
	set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
	set_real_ip_from 103.31.4.0/22;
	set_real_ip_from 104.16.0.0/13;
	set_real_ip_from 104.24.0.0/14;
	set_real_ip_from 108.162.192.0/18;
	set_real_ip_from 131.0.72.0/22;
	set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
	set_real_ip_from 162.158.0.0/15;
	set_real_ip_from 172.64.0.0/13;
	set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
	set_real_ip_from 188.114.96.0/20;
	set_real_ip_from 190.93.240.0/20;
	set_real_ip_from 197.234.240.0/22;
	set_real_ip_from 198.41.128.0/17;

	real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;

and for the second reason:

#!/bin/sh

curl --request PATCH \
  --url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/<your_zone>/settings/ipv6 \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <api_token>' \
  --data '{"value": "off"}'
