Overview

This plugin will mimic a keep-alive ping by utilizing jQuery to perform an ajax request to the current page, which will update
the session token tied to PilotPress and or any other system attached using PHP built in sessions. Session Slap will also provide
a settings interface to allow admins to configure details relating to interval amount (which is defauled to 5 minutes less than the
session.maxlifetime set in php.ini).

A few notes about the sections above:

  • Configuration options are available in the Settings -> Session Slap menu.
  • Updates built in PHP sessions only.
  • Attempts to access session.maxlifetime ini settings, but will default to 24 minutes if not available.
