The membercontrols does not log out users. Even when I close explorer and open it again several days later I'm still logged in to the user area I created.

How do I get my users automatically logged off after 10 minutes?


regards,

Claus N.

By rewriting the Umbraco Member Controls.
The method so neatly called ButtonForumCreate_Click, logs in the user at the click of the login button. It uses the default "Member.AddMemberToCache" implementation that creates a cookie that lives for 365 days.

You can hack this with javascript. Below is some JS that will read the umbracoMemberId cookie and rewrite it as a session cookie meaning the user gets logged off when they close their browser. Note may not work on all browsers.


Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function ReadCookie(cookieName) {
var theCookie=""+document.cookie;
var ind=theCookie.indexOf(cookieName);
if (ind==-1 || cookieName=="") return "";
var ind1=theCookie.indexOf(';',ind);
if (ind1==-1) ind1=theCookie.length;
return unescape(theCookie.substring(ind+cookieName.length+1,ind1));
}
document.cookie = "umbracoMemberId="+ReadCookie('umbracoMemberId')+";-10;path=/";
-->
</script>
