I am also getting the following debug message PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/whatever/xxxxxxx/adminsection/includes/keepalive_module.php:34) in /home/content/whatever/functions/general.php on line 21

Can't seem to replicate this on my own site.

What's different in your admin files compared to a fresh brand new uncustomized install of ZC?

Adding the following code:

PHP Code:

---

if(!in_array('header.php', array_map('basename', get_included_files())))
    return; 


---

to the very beginning of YOUR_ADMIN/includes/keepalive_module.php should do the trick.

Um ... since header.php is the ONLY file which calls keepalive_module.php, why would that code suggestion have any helpful effect?

Hi I'm new to Zen cart and i think I'm doing pretty well, i normally dont like addons since they tend to slow down or get way too much crowded in my opinion, i like it clean simple and fresh, but i was looking for a anti log-out for admin page, i found yours, which by the way is great, tho i would prefer it not to force navigate to the site when the time runs out, since it can be frustrating working with other online documents and suddenly it moves away from that ;)

I Came here to say that i also got issues with blank pages, when logging in to admin page after i installed this addon, also when duplication products in same groups, it would give me the blank pages, however the cmd was sent successful to the server to demand duplicate but given blank pages all the time.

I'm using Firefox 28 if that helps you in anyways and I'm using the latest version of Zen Cart 1.5.1 as of this date 11-04-2014/eu date format with the theme "black pure free"

Could you reply to my reply ;)?

If you're getting blank pages, you'll need to sort out whatever PHP errors are happening as a result. See your /logs/ folder.

Is there any way to adapt this to work for the main site? I am looking to display the same idle warning to logged in customers. I have tried and failed..... any help would be great :o)

Running zc 1.5.3

and the whole log's info is:

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home1/public_html/newadmin/includes/keepalive_module.php:34) in /home1/public_html/newadmin/keepalive.php on line 12


Is that happening because I changed the time format from the US ( M,D,Y) to GB ( D,M,Y)? and how to fix the problem with the blank page ?:frusty:

The issue is with the November 2013 (v1.0) update, where an initialization script was added to load the keepalive_module.php. Since that module outputs a <div>, that's where the error originates. Using the previous (beta0.3) version corrects the issue (albeit with a single-line modification to the admin's /includes/header.php).

Just remember, don't use this plugin for Zen Cart v1.5.2 and later ... it's already included!

I installed 1.5.3 from scratch and still lose my work without warning when I am editing a page as follows

1. Tools
2. Define Pages Editor
3. Wait 15 minutes or more
4. Save
5. ... I am asked to log in again and my changes are gone.

Am I going about things in the wring way?

Thanks in advance.

My bad, for parroting the statement made by the last module updater instead of verifying before "speaking" -- you'll need to install this plugin (the previous version uploaded by DrByte) for this function to be present in all current Zen Cart installations.
