Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 What is the default time limit for inactivity before the user is automatically logged off the store, and can that limit be modified (extended)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Russ, Edit this code in the /admin/includes/functions/sessions.php file: if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') { if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) { $SESS_LIFE = 1440; } Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') { if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) { $SESS_LIFE = 1440; } relace with if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') { if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) { $SESS_LIFE = 2880; // doubled time } Ask/Skype for Free osCommerce value addon/SEO suggestion tips for your site.

Dennisra Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You may have to edit your php.ini or ask your host about "session.gc_maxlifetime". I believe the php default is 1440 and I don't think OSC will override that. I could be wrong on that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 As session is stored in data base so osc will override it.

Guest Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks, guys, for your help! This is what I did to get the results I wanted: ---------------------------------- if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') { #if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) { $SESS_LIFE = 14400; #} ---------------------------------- I found that by reming out the if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) { line I can force the session life value to whatever I choose -- a very high number in this case so users can view a very long live webcast (up to 4 hours) without being forced to re-login afterwards.
