logging users
Hello – would like to be able to log when editors etc login to the admin panel to make changes etc. right now all can determine is that a user has logged on in Feb. I would like more info: date, month, time.
Is there a plugin for this?

Re: logging users
You can edit the date format yourself in /textpattern/include/txp_admin.php, around line 324:
e.g. td($last_login ? safe_strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S', $last_login) : ''). is displayed as 05.02.2010 21:43:57
Edit: full paste, please ;)

this should be rolled in as a setting or preference, no?

Sadly, no. 5th bullet point in this changeset explains why.

ah ah…. yes i see why it’s not rolled in.
BUT why not implement cookies/java magic that logs you out after 4hrs ( or whatever time one wants) of inactivity.

*shrug*. The cookie is hard-coded to 30 days in the core. Presumably if you were alloed to alter it in prefs it’d have to delete the cookie you’re currently using and resave it with the new time limit you specify; that smacks of hard work1 :-p
1 There’s likely a proper, technical reason for this not being implemented already! Bottom line is I don’t know enough about it.

Re: logging users
I would dare to say that adding the day as well as the month and year would be preferable to most, and add a little quiet disclaimer that says logins can last for up to one month.
