Can't get "expiry-time" in PM page

Post by gvp9000 »

When I reply on a message I can get expiry-time via javascript and the expiry-time is the right one (= end session time)

When I open a PM (personal message) page (in compose, reply, forward or quote message) the expiry-time is ZERO !!!

Why is that ?
Is it a bug or can I get the RIGHT expiry-time via a javascript call (for example to MongoDbSessionHandler.php) or there is another way ?

All I want to do is to get the RIGHT expiry-time via javascript code when I open a PM page instead of "0=zero".

Thanks.

Most likely an extension you are using is doing this. It embeds some code into the template. Which extensions do you use?

I use latest Post local storage extension.
Any idea why $session_expiry_time is "0" only in PM (personal message) pages ?

In event/listener.php

Code: Select all

	public function check_expiry_time($event)
	{
		// error_log('[phpBB3 postlocalstorage] Dumping \$event in check_expiry_time()' + print_r($event, true));
		error_log('[phpBB3 postlocalstorage] checking for expiry time...');

		try
		{
			/**
			 * Session length, as defined on the configuration parameters, in seconds.
			 * If it doesn't exist, or throws an error, we'll set it to zero and that's it.
			 *
			 * @var int
			 */
			$session_length = (int) $this->config['session_length'];
		}
		catch (Exception $e)
		{
			error_log('[phpBB3 postlocalstorage] Something is wrong with session_length: ' . $e->getMessage());
			$session_length = 0;
		}
		$session_expiry_time = $this->time_now + $session_length;

		error_log('[phpBB3 postlocalstorage] check_expiry_time: $this->time_now is ' . $this->time_now
			. ' $session_length is ' . $session_length
			. '; Total is: ' . $session_expiry_time);

		$this->template->assign_vars(array(
			'EXPIRY_TIME' => $session_expiry_time,
		));
	}
		
In \styles\all\template\event\posting_editor_options_prepend.html

Code: Select all

<div id="expiry-time" style="visibility: hidden; display: none;">
{%- if EXPIRY_TIME -%}
{{- EXPIRY_TIME -}}
{%- else -%}
0
{%- endif -%}
</div>

Support for that extension is in the ‘Post Local Storage’ dedicated Discussion/Support forum.

I looked, Mick. The extension the OP is talking about is somet ext. else. This just creates a cookie with JS so that it is remembered in the browser. The one the OP uses seems to be a bit more complicated. OP should still ask the author on the page/website where he downloaded the extension. or change the code like this:

Code: Select all

<div id="expiry-time" style="visibility: hidden; display: none;">
{%- if EXPIRY_TIME -%}
{{- EXPIRY_TIME -}}
{%- else -%}{% if S_PRIVMSGS %}{% else %}
0
{% endif %}{%- endif -%}
</div>
