Re: How to detect (daily) User Login when using cookies?

Hi,

If you use a custom authentication backend, you could update it every time get_user(request) is called.

Yes that would be enough. I know in the User Model there is last_login but that is only updated when the User actually logs in. And the signal from django-allauth is also only send when the user uses the login form. The only other alternative I found was to check in every view I have for request.user and store / update datetime.now. But this is quite ugly.

Hi,

Would it make sense to simply keep a record of when the last time you've seen the user is?

I'm using django-allauth and I receive a signal when a user logs in. Now I want to store each day the user logs in. However, when the user does not logout he can still log in the next day thanks to the cookies. I know that I can set SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE to True in settings.py. But this may annoy some Users.

So is there a way to use cookies but still tell if a User has accessed the site for the first time today?
