[3.3] Not logging out

1 Oct 11, 2010 12:01    

My b2evolution Version: 3.3

Hi,

I seem to have the opposite problem to everyone here. Users are not logging out.

We use the forum in a closed university environment, and the students use shared computers, one accesses the forum, walks away and the next user (could be days later) finds themselves logged in as the previous one.

Is there away to set a forced session timeout value?

Set the session timeout.

In the backoffice, go: Global Settings => General. Near the bottom you'll see a section called "Timeouts". Set the session timeout to something relatively short.

The downside is that if someone surfs slowly then they may timeout between page hits.

Here is a solution if you won't require cache enabled

1) Log in as admin
2) Go to Dashboard
3) Go to Global Settings -> General
4) Uncheck “Enable general cache”
5) Go to Blog Settings -> Advanced Tab
6) Uncheck “Enable page cache” and Uncheck “Enable widget cache”

When cache is disabled the skin will control sessions and cookies
It appears that the logout protocol has a bug when the cache is enabled

Note: I am running b2evolution 4.0.3 but I suspect that it will work for 3.3.3 as well.

Perhaps the b2evo Team will look into this.
