Last Login Time

Storing the last login time of a user can be useful to identify which users are active and which are not to help ensure data is not being stored longer than is necessary.

First a new user field for storing the time is required in user_fields.pl

push @{$c->{fields}->{user}},
    {
        'name' => 'last_login',
        'type' => 'text',
    },
};

And then add the following code to $c->{check_user_password} in user_login.pl to store the time at which a user successfully logs in.

#get user from username
my $user = EPrints::DataObj::User::user_with_username( $repository, $username );

#get time and compile a string
my( @local ) = localtime( time );
my ( $sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year ) = ( $local[0], $local[1], $local[2], $local[3], $local[4]+1, $local[5]+1900 );
my $loginTime = "$year-$mon-$day $hour:$min:$sec";

#store the value
$user->set_value( "last_login", $loginTime );
$user->commit();

#return user
return 1;
