Users Getting logged out after a while... max sessions?

[ZacFields]

I have a quick question.

My users (and myself) have reported an inability to stay logged in for very long. They'll log in and click on the "Keep me logged in" checkbox but after a week or so, they come back to the site and find that they aren't logged in anymore.

In about 2 weeks, I usually have about 250+ members log into the site. I would assume that at least 90% of them use the "keep me logged in" because most of my members view the site pretty regularly.

I had my max sessions set up to be 100, and I have since bumped it up to 200. Is this my problem? Is that what max sessions does? Or am I just toggling with an option that has nothing to do with my problem?

As an update: I have increased the max sessions significantly, and I still am getting logged out at least a couple times a week.

Also, I am pretty sure there is a connection with PM's as well, as I seem to get logged out everytime I receive a private message.

Any ideas...at all?

are you using the full install? or the beta update phpbb to IM140?
I cant reproduce the prob with the full install, but im having similar issues with one of my phpbb updated sites. With the upgade there are a few missing db entries. Michealo is looking into it for me, but hes also working an a dozen or so other things atm. Ill post when i find a resolution to this

We're having the same problem, and I did use the beta install. I can tell you that everyone who is having the problem is on IE. I have sessions set to 99999, and I was hoping that would fix the problem, but it didn't.

max sessions does not have anything to do with this. If your sessions table is full, youll get an error message.

This should be controled in ACP/General Admin/Configuration/
set "Automatic login key expiry" to "0" If it already is set to "0", try "360"
without the quotes of coarse <img>

It may also be the users browser settings.

Sorry to hijack, but i have another question..

How can I make my page display PowerMetal to ALL users including me while viewing the acutal page, and then allow me to use Subice for the ACP?

Thanks!

I actually did that to start with.

you can replace the entire admin folder for PowerMetal with the one from fisubice. The one in the beta phpBB to IM140 is fully up to date. The change the style references in index_navigate.tpl and page_header.tpl from fisubice to PowerMetal

[Bush]

Helter you confused me on this "The one in the beta phpBB to IM140 is fully up to date"

How can I view the ACP in fisubice?

OK, I will explain more clearly on his post.

Go to the Downloads section of this forum. Find the file for upgrading from phpBB to IntegraMOD 1.4.0.

Download that file.

Inside the file, it contains FI Subice. It's the latest, which is up-to-date.

But there's this problem: The template uses the CSS, replacing the "admin" folder is useless. It will just have the page, but with FI Subice's colours.

This is what one of the members having problems said. Might help in narrowing the problem.

It seems to be just anytime I try to go to use the board index. When I use the "recent topics" though, it doesn't seem to forget that I've logged in. But then I can check out everything on the site. Just the stuff on the "recent topics" listing.

I use BBLite (slightly modified) and it was not showing all the options in ACP General Admin Configuration.

Based on Helter's tips...

I downloaded the phpbb to im140 zip.
I uploaded that zip's fisubice admin folder and replaced BBLite's admin folder contents (backing them up first of course)
I opened the new page_header.tpl and changed

Code: Select all

<link>

to

Code: Select all

<link>

I didn't find anything in index_navigate.tpl that required changing.

Now my ACP is BBLite but it includes all the options...

[Helter]

you should find this line in your template/admin/index_navigate.tpl

Code: Select all

<td><a><img></a></td>  

this only controls the phpBB logo in the top left of the admin index. Not sure why it is still hard coded. I think ill fix that for 141.....less edits to keep updated
