Refresh & no expiration cookie

[eluser]ilpega[/eluser]
Hello all!
I have created a codeigniter + bootstrap + ion auth web app. Now I have to show a part of this web app into a monitor. The page shown is refreshed every 2 minutes. However to view this page I have to enter username and password.
How can I update the session cookie so that it never expires?
There are other methods?

Thanks for your help!!!

'sess_expiration' = the number of SECONDS you want the session to last. By default sessions last 7200 seconds (two hours). Set to zero for no expiration.

I think this is what you are asking, if so then RT[F]M - lol

Thank you for your reply.

Is it possible to set sess_expiration to 0 only for a selected user???

In CI I don't know. In normal php without CI then yes

You do a check on the user name the user provided like so :

Code:

if($_POST['user'] === 'John') {
// Don't expire his session
} else {
// Expire the session like you would for every one else.
}

You could extend the Session class if you wanted to.

You could also just make sure you set the expiration time before the cookie is updated:

Code:

$this->session->sess_expiration = $sess_expiration;

If you don't do it before you cookie is updated, you'll probably have to call $this->session->sess_write() straight after.
