This looks good –

I will be moving this code to google code as soon as i can, the account is already there – Also, i am working on an updated version that gives more controls over the UI – one option being to not use jQuery UI but just a simple confirm, as well as using facebox.

Thanks for this plugin, it works very well.

I\’ve made a couple of changes and thought I\’d share what I changed.

First, I\’ve removed the opts.redirect_url because I think PHP can do all of the session destroying/redirecting for me and it changes the jQuery from this –
var redirect = function()
{
if(opts.logout_url)
{
$.get(opts.logout_url);
}
window.location.href = opts.redirect_url;
}

to the much simpler–
var redirect = function()
{
window.location.href = opts.logout_url;
}

This is really just a preference, I think. Secondly, I\’ve changed the modal call a bit. I noticed in the buttons declaration there was a callback to close the modal and then ping the sessionAlive url. The problem arose that when you click the \"X\" to close the modal in the title area the sessionAlive url was not pinged and the modal would not pop back up. So, as a remedy I\’ve added the \"close\" even with a call back to the stay_logged_in() function. This way it doesn\’t matter if they hit the button or the \"X\", it will still reset appropriately. Here\’s what the code was–
$(modal).dialog({
buttons: {\"Stay Logged In\": function(){
$(this).dialog(\’close\’);
stay_logged_in();
}},
modal: true,
title: \’Auto Logout\’
});

Here\’s what I changed it to–
$(modal).dialog({
buttons: {\"Stay Logged In\": function(){
$(this).dialog(\’close\’);
}},
modal: true,
title: \’Auto Logout\’,
close: function(event, ui) {
stay_logged_in();
}
});

I’ve discovered your idleTimeout jQuery script, which almost satisfy my needs. Good job !

I’ve slightly modified it to :

- add 3 options : “alertButton” to change text in the button of the dialog, “alertTitle” to change the title of the dialog and finally alertText to change the content of the message
- allow not using any of the 3 urls (redirect_url, alive_url, logout_url); I personaly don’t use alive_url currently, and “/js_sandbox/” doesn’t match well with my backend

In respect of the license, I want to send you my revision, just send me an email if you want to (I’ve searched for your email on the blog without success).

Great script. I had to make a modification to it because it seemed that whenever the alert would come up, you could click on the modal area and the timer would reset but the alert would stay open. Once the timer expired again, a new alert would be opened in addition to the previous one that was already opened.

I added this to the beginning on the logout function:
$(document).unbind(\’click\’, start_liveTimeout);

I then added this to the callback function of the \"Stay Logged In\" button:
$(document).bind(\’click\’, start_liveTimeout);

Anyway, great script again. Just thought I would contribute.
