Increase 'Admin Session Time Out' ?

I have checked
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Admin_-_Configuration_-_My_Store_-_Session_Timeout_Admin_-_Catalog
and /includes/functions/sessions.php

I am not sure if I change one of the variable 900 to 4000 its going to work. its not of crucial importance.

Line #16 : if (!$SESS_LIFE = (SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN + 900)) { 

Line #17 : $SESS_LIFE = (SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN + 900); 


Line #97 : @ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', (SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN < 900 ? (SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN + 900) : SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN));

To be in PCI compliance DO NOT change these admin timeout settings.

To increase your login time use:

Works great!

Re: Increase 'Admin Session Time Out' ?

It should be up to the user to decide whether to be in PCI compliance or not, not zencart . Not all sites using zencart need to be in compliance anyway. There should be a way to modify this in the settings, but since there isn't, which file would need modified?

Re: Increase 'Admin Session Time Out' ?

How do you set the timer in admin? where is the setting? I am using 1.5.3

"INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE: 1. Unzip and upload the files. 2. Make a small addition to one existing file. See the enclosed Instructions.txt file." >> there is no text file!
