ACP timeout setting?

Post by urzh »

Is it possible to disable the ACP timeout? In other words, stay logged into ACP as user for X amount of time or unlimited? Yes I understand the risks

Isn't that ACP > General tab > Load settings > Session length.
I can't imagine being logged in with access to the ACP while not being logged in on the board.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Hi is this session length for all users or only for ACP?

I believe it will be for all users.
however, there is no need for any of this.
if you click the remember me box when you log in then you will effectively be logged in all the time.

the way it works is that you stay logged in for whatever the session length is set to. however, all you have to do is click on anything on the board and
you will be instantly logged back in. you will not notice it, it will just happen.
so, for all intents and purposes, you will remain logged in as long as your board is in your browser.

and you don’t log out of course.
