It's pretty annoying: It is currently in admin / Backend of Magento stores and edits here and there. Then you wont e.g. some data. a product and…they will just get away or just on the phone and when you get to this time continues to write until you are satisfied, clicks on one “Save”….and then the shock: Please login, and all the work is WAY.
The period after the administrator is logged out of the backend, is limited in Magento. Where you can make up this time but, First, is not known to many and secondly is controversial, whether this possibility has really, what it promises.
Subsystem > Configuration > Advanced > Admin > Security can under “Lifetime for meetings in seconds” set the time after which the admin will now be logged out. Nice, that it is in seconds. So the desired minutes 60 multiply and you have a nice high number. For 120 Minutes, for example, 7200. This register there and save.
The change will be made only after- and active log.
It is rumored, that in addition, an adaptation of the point here where php.ini session.gc_maxlifetime = should be relevant. I myself have tried this but not yet.
Used in Magento Version 1.5.1.0 Comments? Additions? Notes? Gladly!
Thank you!!
