Does anyone know how long you can stay logged into Xerte for before it logs you out? I've had a report of loss of data in a project (we have the multiple window fix on our install so I don't think it's this) and they have said that some of their colleagues have said they've had similar issues and found they had been logged out (not reported to me at the time so I'm not sure if these other losses were before the editor window fix or not). I'm waiting for more info but in the meantime is anyone else having similar issues?
Thanks
Fay

I think that's most likely to be controlled by session timeout settings on
the server rather than Xerte. Could be wrong but I don't think we have any
code in Xerte to attempt to increase or decrease those settings.

 

However now that I'm working some of the time at UoN and have access to your
install I have noticed that if I revisit your install and login and then try
to edit a project I get Session ID not set. I have to logout and then back
in and all is fine. I don't get this on any other install that I have access
to which is quite a large number!

Hmm, strange. I haven't noticed that but I suppose I tend to work more on my local version and don't spend massive amounts of time on the live site.

We're upgrading next month (still officially on 3.0 but with a few bug fixes) so hopefully that will sort it out.

Well yes and no

https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/blob/79104a529f750b19a22a2d34181240c632ba4096/session_handler.php 
exists (but looks partially out of date).

With PHP you can opt to tell the server to handle sessions in a 
different way to "standard". When I wrote eureka, and having grown weary 
of session timeout, I wrote a database session handler. It proved a lot 
more resilient than the default option. However, in the week I left, PHP 
was upgraded and the scope to run a DB session disappeared.

session.gc_maxlifetime (look in a phpinfo() dump) is key as this is the 
time.

If might be something to code into the editor and then fire off a null 
ajax request to maintain the session?
