[Chameleon] KeepSessionAlive widget disfunctional? - solved

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Okay, apparently the maximum value for the timeout is 1800 seconds ... so it did not accept my value :-( 

I think the timeout name for the attribute is a bit misleading, it is actually an interval, since every X seconds the image is reloaded to keep the session alive. At first I thought it was the period of time in seconds after which my session would timeout ....

Another problem was that I copied the CWC2 tags from the Chameleon samples, sample_other.html, but since the widgets are nested there they are not loaded probably. If I look at the source of the sample other, I don't see a window.settimeout javascript cal which should be generated by the KeepSessionAlive widgetl.

The proper defintion should be:

<!-- SESSIONEXPIRED -->
<cwc2 type="SessionExpired" text="Your session has expired."></cwc2>
<!-- KEEPSESSIONALIVE -->
<cwc2 type="KeepSessionAlive" timeout="300"/>

instead of:

<!-- SESSIONEXPIRED -->
<cwc2 type="SessionExpired" text="Your session has expired.">
<!-- KEEPSESSIONALIVE -->
<cwc2 type="KeepSessionAlive" timeout="300"/>
</cwc2>

Hi list,

using Chameleon 2.2, my sessions expire depending on the session.gc_maxlifetime from php.ini and not on the value set in the Chameleon template.

Is something wrong with my defintion, or is this functionality broken???

<cwc2 type="SessionExpired" text="Your session has expired please refresh the page">
  <cwc2 type="KeepSessionAlive" timeout="18000"/>
</cwc2>

Best regards,
Bart
