Admin Keepalive Timer [Support Thread]

[DrByte]

Since v1.5.0 was released with stronger security against unattended admin logins, some people have found it frustrating if they've been taking a long time composing content and didn't know that their inactivity had logged them out, or while talking on the phone but not touching their computer.

This plugin aims to counter that problem by popping up a notification window if there is no activity in the admin screen for an extended period of time, and logs out only if the prompt is not acknowledged, else keeps them logged in as long as they keep working.

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE:
1. Unzip and upload the files.
2. Make a small addition to the bottom of the existing /your_admin/includes/header.php file to enable the keepalive system.

NOTE: I won't be surprised if there are some small display quirks in Chrome, and maybe IE (doesn't everything break in IE?).

Feedback welcome.

Great idea. Works as advertised on my 1.5.1 test site.

Errr...thanks but see no option on v1.50
Where is the fonction appearing in the admin panel?

[stevesh]

There's no admin switch to turn it on or off, if that's what you're looking for. As the instructions say, To activate it, simply add the following line to the end of your existing /RENAMED_ADMIN/includes/header.php file: <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'keepalive_module.php'); ?>

In the constants, do the empty spans do anything?

<p class="ui-state-error-text"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert" style="float:left; margin:0 7px 50px 0;"></span>...
