I am working on a e-commerce project using the Auth Component for authentication and Sessions Component for storing my cart.
The problem is that the session gets cleared abruptly after a while even when I am actively browsing the site. I know this should be because of the Session timeout but just increasing the timeout value is not the solution I am looking for.
I want the session to expire only when a user closes his browser. Can this be achieved?
AFAIK all you can do is to set a session timeout variable far into the future. Sessions are automatically cleared when the browser is closed (unless you set a Remember Me type cookie). Setting it far into the future will effectively accomplish what you need to do.
How long into your session is it timing out? It should only timeout when your user is inactive for a period of time. If it times out in-between requests, and you know the timeout time has not elapsed, you have some other issues going on. What are the settings in your core.php file regarding your security levels and session timeouts?
