submit

Hi Max

I use CF6 and CF8 for writing texts instead of Joomla articles because they allow for better classification and archiving.

Is it possible to add a submit that saves without closing to the "submit" that saves and closes?

An even better option would be to have a timed automatic save.

Thank you very much.

Hi omerva

With JavaScript you can run a submit call to the submit url every say 5 minutes

But you would still need some logic to tell the form not to end the session and clear the variables, this can be done using an extra parameter in the timed save URL

I did not test that before though, but I can try to prepare a code example for you

Thank you very much, Max.

Unfortunately, especially with CF8, when I'm doing fairly long jobs and the inactivity timeout specified in Joomla expires (180 minutes), it won't let me save with this message:

"Your session has timed out or you tried to access a wrong page."

and I lose my work.

The problem is certainly the time, because it accepts any previous saves as normal.Remo

You mean this happens on the frontend of the form or in the admin editor ?

Hi Max,

It happens in the backend when I save my work.

It could be that leaving pages with tables open for consultation during work without any action triggers the administration access closure after the specified waiting time (180 minutes).

I'm not sure; it's just a hypothesis, because I usually save with the redirect to the same page and it doesn't cause any problems, but then suddenly the error appears.

Then, after logging in again as a super user, it doesn't happen again and only reappears after a few hours.

Thank you.

As I write this, I'm wondering if there's a timer in Jce-Editor, which I normally use for texts.

Hi omerva

Ok, so it happens in the form editor where you change the form setup OR in a form interface where you interact with some data ?
