how to increase the session expiration time, in the Admin CP?

[Verto]

Hello.
I would like to increase the waiting time before logout, when no activity is detected, in the administration area. It happens to me very often, that I am working on the development of some explanatory text, and when I go to save it, the session has expired and I lose all the work done. If someone can tell me how to increase this time, I would be very grateful.

The ACP_SESSION_TIMEOUT constant can be used to increase the time.

First of all, thank you very much for your help.

The problem is that I don't see that constant on the information page you provided. I was looking there previously, in case I found something but I didn't see anything. However, I understand that a constant can be set to delimit the session expiration time, but I don't know how to define it. should I set the time in minutes, seconds, how?

Something like this for two hours?:
\define('ACP_SESSION_TIMEOUT','120');

Can look in init.php for all constants. ACP_SESSION_TIMEOUT is in seconds to consider the session valid for. Generally, I do not recommend extending this unless you are in a local or secured development/testing environment.
