Extending Session timeout - El Forum - 09-02-2009 [eluser]coding_hero[/eluser] I'm trying to extend the session timeout ala this thread. Here's my code snippet from the login routine ('remember' is a check box on the login page): Code: // Remember for one week. The problem I'm having is that every time thereafter that CI_Session is called, the following code gets called (line 170, Session.php): Code: // Is the session current? Since '$this->sess_expiration' is set back to the value in the config file every time that CI_Session is instantiated, I'm not sure how the code in the other thread was supposed to work. Has anyone been able to extend the timeout based on a condition like the above? What's the best way to do it without re-writing large chunks of the Session class? Thanks! Extending Session timeout - El Forum - 09-03-2009 [eluser]bretticus[/eluser] I'd probably not use sessions at all in this instance. I'd set a cookie with an encrypted string that identifies the user. If that cookie is encountered, I'd setup a session for them. Yes, a little "hacky" but at least you're not hacking up session core code. |
