Forum OpenACS Development: LORSM and SessionTimeout fix

Collapse
Posted by Derick Leony on
There was an odd behavior in LORSM: if the user session timed out when accessing any content it would show "My Space" page. This was due to the fact that LORSM uses the session_id and nsv's to keep some variables cached, so it needed the session_id to keep constant while the user viewed the content. Because of this, it is recommendable to set a higher than average SessionTimeout parameter.

After the local time changed, we were having this problem at Galileo. After applying a fix and increasing SessionTimeout to 3 hours, we have not experienced this issue anymore.

I commited the fix that will get the new session_id and show the content, if this can't be done it will show an error message.

Cheers,

Derick
