    Idea or Suggestion Admin Keepalive Timer [Support Thread]

    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.

    DOWNLOAD HERE:

    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.

    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>...

    Yes. They're part of the jQuery UI constructs

    Afternoon!

    I have been waiting for something like this..... too many times Have I been logged out halfway through a long page write up :o/

    I am not sure if it is functioning correctly. When the 15 mins is almost up the entire screen goes green, you can not click anything or carry on working and there is no pop up message. The header also changes to a count down timer.

    The only way out is to press F5 to refresh the screen, which means I lose everything I was writing.

    I dont think this is how it is intened to work. I am using zc1.5.1 and ie9.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    The countdown dialog box (during green overlay) might be displaying at the top of the page ... so scroll up to access it. Instead of pressing F5.

    thanks for the reply.... All i get is the green overlay, there is no dialog box displayed. :o/

    I have scrolled up, down and side to side (lol). Could I have installed something wrong?

    I have tried accessing the admin in ie8 aswll but I get the same result.

    Thanks once again for your help ;o)
