Is there a way to have Tracks remained logged in if accessed from the same computer?  I would like it to use it as my home page, but I don’t like having to log in every time I open my browser.

Go into the controllers and delete all lines containing the following:

That should do it.

I went into each of the files in the controller directory and searched “prepend”, but didn’t find anything.  Am I looking in the right place?

/app/controllers/ Directory

Note this may or may not work just an idea

From TRUNK: /app/controllers/context.rb

From 1.041: /app/controllers/context.rb

So to recape remove

if you are using 1.041.

If you check the ‘Stay logged in’ checkbox in the login page, you shouldn’t need to do any of this. I’ve just checked with Safari, and if I quit Safari without logging out, then restart restoring the same tabs, Tracks is logged in.

Note that if you have Tracks running on a public server (rather than your own machine), you really shouldn’t get rid of the login, because anyone stumbing across your page will be able to access and edit your actions.

And you would only be allowed one user.

On windows, it seems that when you close firefox or explorer, you have to login again.  I use tracks on a public server, but I think it would be terrific if the computer that I use daily could remain logged in just like it does when I go to gmail.

Also, I never really figured out the benefit of having multiple users in a GTD system.  Is that for offices that share tasks?

Hmm, it should keep you logged in. The session data (i.e. your user id is stored in the database itself). I’m not sure why it doesn’t work on Windows.

The multiple users were added because people asked for it. At the moment, it’s a convenience measure: quite a few people have accounts for friends, family or co-workers, without having to have separate installations. Eventually (quite a long way in the future) there might be more interaction possible between users.
