Could it possible to set time-out time after login?

[Jr. tristan]

Registered users have permission to view my album.
But they are not visit frequently, such that they are not familiar to the coppermine system.
They always forget to logout after login.

Could it possible to set time-out time after login just like the one @ login screen of this support forum?

Thanks

what's wrong with not logging out and being authenticated automatically when returning? Most people consider this to be a feature.

You can set that up in bridge/coppermine.inc.php

Session lifetime

Code Select Expand


                // Lifetime of 'remember me' session is 2 weeks
                $rememberme_life_time = time()-(CPG_WEEK*2);
       
                // Lifetime of normal session is 1 hour
                $session_life_time = time()-CPG_HOUR;


Cookie expiry time

Code Select Expand


                // set the session cookie
                setcookie( $this->client_id, $this->session_id, time() + (CPG_WEEK*2), $CONFIG['cookie_path'] );

However, that feature could already be done by ticking the check box at the login page.

Categories of cpg have no password setting.
And I want registered users could gain access to most of my albums, but sometimes they are not using a private computer (such as internet cafe and office).
