What is the default idle time for xoops?

How do I change the default idle time?

Can the idle time be set to give the users warning that they are about to be timed out?

Can the system prompt them to login in without them losing their posting information?

No, I am not using 'custom sessions'.

I tried them once and started getting complaints so I turned that feature off again. I think the issue was it blocked access through firewalls.

The default value is 15 minutes (see /class/xoopssecurity.php, /include/commons.php and /kernel/sessions.php).
When there are problems with the custom sessions, I don't think firewalls are to be blamed, but it has all to do with the browser settings for handling cookies.

The art of asking questions.

So if I want to change the default time, I change the 900 seconds (15 minutes) on line 201 in session.php in the gc_force function?

Quote:

$expire = ($expire > 0) ? $expire : 900;

and also line 75 in the xoopssecurity.php?

Quote:

$timeout = ($expire > 0) ? $expire : 900;

or get brave and try the 'custom session' option again. In that case, I can set the timeout time in the main setup.
