[ventesites]

Hello

 

There is no time out on my shop, as an admin i am logged for ever, same for customers...

 

Is it something normal?

 

Thanks

no it's not normal

please check: administration > preferences

there is an option to "LifeTime of front office cookies" and "Life time of back-office cookies"

what values you have there?

Hi Vekia

 

Any idea on how to solve my problem?

Have you tried to check "Remind me" option when you log in as administrator? Sometime we forget to do it, better if it would be already checked.

 

To do that edit the file admin/themes/default/template/controllers/login/content.tpl

 

In line 80 replace this old string:

<input name="stay_logged_in" type="checkbox"  id="stay_logged_in" value="1" checked tabindex="3"/>

 

with this new one:

<input name="stay_logged_in" type="checkbox"  checked="checked" id="stay_logged_in" value="1" checked tabindex="3"/>

 

You won't need to check "Remind me" option every time.
