Hello,
Is there a way to change the timout delay of a session ? Some users were logout when writing a long text in a Memo field loosing their job definitively.

Something to do with phprunner or with the system of my provider ?

Session time out can be changed in php.ini file. If you don't have an access to this file you may talk to your ISP in this regard.

Having no access to php.ini and no solution through my ISP, I found another solution. As it could be of some interest to anybody else here it is :
in _edit.htm, put the line
<script>setInterval("updateRTEs();document.forms['editform'].submit();",900000);</script>
Every 15 min of inactivity the form will autosave.

Will this need to be added to every HTML file?
Thank you,

Andrew,
yes. You need to add this code to all _add.htm/_edit.htm files.

I have attempted (and it seems to work) putting the following code in the After Successful Login
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime","3600");
you can change the 3600 to what you need.

Is it possible to simply set this in the login.php file instead? For example, I have added to the list of ini_set commands at the top of the login.php file, but have not really tested it to see if it has the desired effect.
