When logged in to the osCMAX admin, is there any way to keep it from timing out so soon?

I frequently am working and doing other things at the same time. I leave the window open and when I come back, not long after, I have to sign in again. Most of the time, it's just an annoyance but yesterday, I was tinkering with a product description, got a phone call that slowed me up, and when I hit Preview, the damned thing timed out on me.

And I do, but I was making some minor changes and those were lost.

It just seems like the login does not last very long and I wonder if there is any way to make it last longer. Probably a dumb question...but what else is new? Laughing7

The session timeouts are set to 1440 seconds in /includes/functions/sessions.php and {your admin}/includes/functions/sessions.php

You can change the timeout period to a maximum 3000 seconds (50 minutes) by making the following change in both files:

FIND

[code=php]
if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
if (!$SESS_LIFE = get_cfg_var('session.gc_maxlifetime')) {
$SESS_LIFE = 1440;
}[/code]

REPLACE WITH:

[code=php]

if (STORE_SESSIONS == 'mysql') {
$SESS_LIFE = 3000; //set to 50 minutes
[/code]
