Warning the user of session timeout
« on: October 25, 2011, 03:35:41 PM »
Hi all,

I have just completed yet another web app using NetTalk 5, which my client loves  ;D , but they have come back to me with a request that has got me stumped.

Basically, they love the way the session times out after a while of inactivity, but they have asked whether it is possible to pop up a notification box that the session has timed out, or automatically navigate to the logon screen along with a message to the effect that the session has timed out?

I use Xero online for our accounting system and I note that they do this, and I think it is a good idea, especially as my web app will pretty much be left running constantly in the background at this particular organisation.

Thanks!
Devan

Hi Everyone,

Following this topic, the post which Bruce replied with, no longer exists,
Anyone perhaps have record of it, or have implemented this?

Are you using the session manager template settings?

If so, you might also add the logout logic I describe in this thread:
