You may or may not be aware that when using ASP on a web site, the default timeout for an ASP Session is set at 20 minutes.
What this means is that whenever someone exceeds this period, any changes made to a website page will be lost.
A good example of this is say someone is editing the text in one of the Extra Pages supplied in CP. They are happily typing away, the creative thoughts are flowing and before you know it, over an hour has passed. All the text is still there on the screen, until they press the Save button.
As the ASP session has already timed out, they will be taken immediately to the Login Screen and you guessed it, all that typing is gone into cyber oblivion.
Enter the CPMods AutoSave MOD.
This MOD works in both the ExtraPage's (Custom Pages) and Product Edit.
There is a new warning at the top of the two edit pages that there will be an AutoSave after 15 Minutes.
Once the time has expired, there is a layer that pops up telling the user that the AutoSave is in Progress. At the end of the Save (3 seconds), the user is returned to the same page to continue editing and the timer is reset again.
Easy, no more lost work.
We have added the demo to our InnovaEditor Demo.
Simply login below (admin/admin) and check out any Custom Page or Product.
The demo has been set to 20 Seconds for the AutoSave to Activate.
