Session length?

[Guest]

I am trying to increase the amount of time products will stay in the shopping cart without having someone logged in. Right now it is less than 2 hours. I would like products to stay in the cart at least 24 hours, if not 36.

 

I edited catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php

 

from

 

  if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
   if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) {
     $SESS_LIFE = 1440;
   }

 

to

 

  if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
   if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) {
     $SESS_LIFE = 1880000;
   }

 

but it didn't seem to do anything to the amount of time that products stay in the basket. Are there other files I need to edit? Any other ideas/suggestions?
