Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 11, 20195 yr Hi there, I've had members complain that they get logged out too quickly if no activity, they say 30 mins. A few asking if it could be longer. Is there a way to change that? Maybe I'm being daft, but can't find it. Lenny
March 12, 20195 yr We rely on the php.ini-defined session settings to control the logout time period, however I should note that if you login on the front end and choose the "Remember me" option (which is the default) then the user should be automatically logged back in upon returning later, which differs from the AdminCP behavior. It sounds like the users just need to ensure that option is checked when they login next time so that even if their session expires they will transparently be given a new member session.
March 14, 20195 yr Author Thanks, that makes sense.... Are there downsides to changing the php.ini session settings from 30 min?
March 15, 20195 yr Sessions will be considered valid for longer. You don't want a session to be valid for a super long time, but you can certainly increase it from the default of 24 minutes or whatever if you want.
