Bart, this is not something that is very easy to handle which is why we have avoided it. One suggestion ... in your application template, you could write a custom piece of javascript that starts a timer for, say, 29 minutes and closes open popups if it expires. The only problem then is that there is no central place where popups window handles are registered. There may be some hooks in javascript to determine the handles of windows opened via window.open ... you may also be able to close them by window name (in the window.open call, a window is assigned a unique name) and then search the source of your page for all the window names (by looking for window.open calls) Cheers, Paul PS this would be a nice addition to chameleon at some point, to have all open windows go through a popup manager that keeps all the window handles and manages the callback mechanism, and also handles session expiry automagically. It won't be in the next version though. bartvde@xs4all.nl wrote: Hi list, we have noticed some strange behaviour (lots of error messages) in Chameleon when a session has expired and popup windows are still open. Is there a way to close all popups when a session expires to prevent this behaviour, or can't anything be done about this and is it the responsibility of the user? Best regards, Bart
This is still an open item, but there is a new widget called KeepSessionAlive that you can place in your template and it will keep the current PHP session active while the main application window is open. It does this by using a single pixel transparent image generated by a php script and replacing the contents every n seconds (n is specified in the widget attributes), the script also opens the session which is sufficient to keep it from expiring.
updated version to 1.99
Changed target to 2.1.
Changed Target Milestone to FUTURE. (Enhancements may be moved from this target to specific "versioned" targets after product design review cycles.)
Changed Severity to enhancement.
Here's some code I wrote to close all popups when the main application window closes or refreshes. Maybe it can be used here as well. It works for IE and W3 DOM compliant browsers, but not for Opera, so some work may be needed. Also, this closes popups after *any* refresh, for instance when zooming in. This may or may not be desirable. Replacement JavaScript code for CWCPopup->DrawPublish(): var wh = window.open('{$url}', '{$name}', '{$options}'); if (!wh) { alert( 'unable to open popup dialog. Perhaps you have a popup blocker installed?' ); } else { if (window.opera) // Opera window.opera.addEventListener("BeforeEvent.unload", function(){wh.close()}, false); else if (window.addEventListener) // W3 DOM window.addEventListener("unload", function(){wh.close()}, false); else if (window.attachEvent) // IE window.attachEvent("onunload", function(){wh.close()}); wh.focus(); }
