Referrals: being able to choose the cookie duration

[LaCollision]

Hi,

By default, referrals are active for a year:

In /Dispatcher/Front:

\IPS\Request::i()->setCookie( 'referred_by', \intval( \IPS\Request::i()->_rid ), \IPS\DateTime::create()->add( new \DateInterval( 'P1Y' ) ) );

 

… 1 year is… 😳 😲 

That would be great to be able to choose this duration, like 1 week, 1 month, 10 days…

Thank you!

Hey @LaCollision, I think this is an interesting suggestion! Let me pass this along and see if there's a simple solution or if it requires a lot of work. I'll circle back 🙏

I think it's just a setting to be added in the ACP 😊

Why you want to change that?

Because one year is really way too long!

Usually, it's at most one month…

From what I gather, this is potentially an easy change. Going to get some more feedback 🙏

Hey @LaCollision - this is something we are going to look into further and eventually implement. 🙏 🎉
