Admin CP Timeout
In vb3 , jelsoft decided to auto-logout the admin from the admincp after 1 hour of inactivity or according to the sites cookie timeout. However for some of us we require to be logged in the admincp longer then 1 hour. A perfect eample is whem mass mailing all users. One has to hit Next page after each batch, well if the admin leaves the pc for an hour and comes back, when he hits the next page button he will get the login prompt. Once he logs in it will take him to admin cp homepage and not the continuation of the mailing. This can become rather nnoying specially when one runs a huge site and needs to be in the adminCP at all times.
Anyways, vb said the timeout is enbended in the code and in order to have it increased i should enquire here. Anyone have any ide on how to change the default 1 hour time out ?? |

It loggs you out after 1 hour of inactivity, Ive been logged into the admincp for several hours.

I too would love to know if there is some hack to change this from say, 1 hour to 12 hours. I only log in from home and have no need for this feature.
Grateful for any pointers. Charles |

Okay, I think I figured out how to do this... Search for "3600" in admincp/global.php and change it to some other number of seconds.
It seems to work, but my overall knowledge of vB hacking is very limited. Could someone tell me if this is likely to break anything? Thanks. --c |

That won't break anything. I have mine set to 4 hours which is more realistic for my needs.

Thanks. Except I just realized that it is in fact not working. Still times me out quickly. Is there something else I need to do?
Appreciate your help, this is annoying in the extreme. --c |
