Go to specific page when sess_expiration

[eluser]Martin Overgaard[/eluser]
I’am a beginner with CI. I would appreciate help with the code or description for this functionality:

When ”sess_expiration” is activated and the users has been logged out, I like to direct the user to a specific page that says something like “Due to security reasons - you have been logged out. Go to the Login page to log in again.” I other words - not direct to the default login page.

Can somebody help? Many thanks in advance.

Check to see if they are logged out and if so redirect them to the page.

Code:

redirect('where_you_want_go', 'refresh');

Perfect, Thanks!

How do I check to see if they are logged out from "sess_expiration"?

... I'am a beginner.

Thanks again

This would depend on what you have set the session_expiration time to. By default it is set to 2 hours 7200.

Code:

$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;  // 2 hours

So after 2 hours the session will be destroyed.

Thanks. Is the following correct understood:

1. When a user logs out normally trough a normal “log out ” button the session is destroyed and the user is directed to the page I have specified for normal log out.

2. When a user is logged out from “sess_expiration” – let’s say when the chosen two hours are gone – CI automatically refreshes the view and do the redirection to the specified page.

If this is the case, where to I put the redirect('where_you_want_go', 'refresh') to be triggered?

You help is very appreciated.

Put it in your logout method.

Also in your logout method at this when they logout.

Code:

$this->session_userdata = array();  // Clears out the users data.
$this->session_destroy();
