Control Panel Timeout Period

[Sheriden Charles]

Hi to all,

I'm just wondering if any other members find the fairly short timout period for the Control Panels (both Resellers & Hosting) a little bit inconvenient.
I am finding myself logging in several times every couple of hours when I need to do or check something in the control panel(s) then maybe switch to a website or other activity (such as making a coffee!).
I raised the issue through a support ticket and was told that the whole system wouldn't be changed just for me, which I can understand, but would be interested to know if it IS only me that finds this irritating!
My suggestion was a longer timeout or the facility to set the timeout.

Regards to all,

SC

I’ve never experienced a problem with the Hepsia or Resellers Control Panel but I have seen this problem before on other websites. There are plug-ins for your browser designed to auto refresh the page and therefore should stop you being logged out.

This is one such plug-in for Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...n/reloadevery/

Pretty simple and should solve your problem.

Great solution clivejo!

Now everyone is happy

I never even thought of doing that - it works perfectly!

Funny enough I must admit I never though about that either. I am going to use that as I hate to login to PayPal every 30 minutes!!!

Nice one mate!

Its a trick I used one time for an online store to process orders and print off packing instructions as orders arrived. The refresh triggered a Java script, found any new orders and printed them. Using

window.print() ;

If anyone's interested, you can force Firefox to 'silence' print too. Ill explain how.

1) Open a new window and type in "about:config" to the URL bar
2) Promise to be careful
3) Menu click and Select New > Boolean
4) Call the preference "print.always_print_silent"
5) Set your new preference to True

Now instead of asking you to Okay the printing, it adds it to the print queue and the document is printed like magic!
