Changing Admin session timeout???

[Guest]

I am looking to increase the amount of time of inactivity the admin can have before it loses the logged in session. Where can I set/change this value. Currently, it is too short. I tried searching the forums and couldnt find anything. Thanks.

This is controlled by your browser. Your browser keeps your username and password cached so that when you view the admin section, you do not need to re-enter your login and password everytime you go to a new page.

you can control timeouts on the server side for sure. You can use the session_set_cookie_params, the first argument is when the session expires.

 

session_set_cookie_params(60*60*24); // 1 day

 

Maybe there is already something in admin\includes\application_top.php you can modify

admin/includes/functions/sessions.php

 

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