refresh and timeout

[garry1]

When user logs in I display a summary page. I would like to automatically refresh the summary page after 30 mins and timeout the user(take user back to the login page) after 1hr.

Here is my code. It refreshes the page but doesn't timeout.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1800;URL='summary.cfm'">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="3590;URL='login.cfm'">

Thanks.

That's because the first refresh takes over... here you go..

<cfif not isDefined("url.norefresh")>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1800;URL='summary.cfm?norefresh=1'">
<cfelse>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="3590;URL='login.cfm'">
</cfif>

It needs to be one or the other, that's all.

Well, that's not going to work because it's reset every 1800 seconds by the first META tag.

There are several ways you can do this. One thing that comes to mind is to just store the time when the page is first loaded and pass it in the url every time it's refreshed. Then, compare the time and once it's been an hour go back to the login page.

I'm on my way out the door right now, I'll try to post back later with some code.



Hope This Helps!

Ecobb, as you're "on the way out the door" I'll let you know that we posted and almost the same second. I posted and your post came up right after mine.
