Session timeout

Hi all,

After spending some time making a new form (I'm new to ChronoForms and the form is quite big) I hit the save form button and I was sent to the Joomla!'s login page because the session timed out. I thought, oh well, bummer, I'll do it again but this time I'll save the form's html code to a temp txt file so that if I get logged out again, I have it saved.
I do just that and when I hit the save button for the second time, I get logged out again. Ok, no worries, I have it saved so I'll just copy/paste the html code into the wizzard's html window, but that didn't work as you can't save the inserted data.

Now my question is, where are the forms' html files saved, so I can edit them?
Also, is there a way to prevent these quite annoying session time outs?

Thanks in advance

Hi giventofly,

You can only use the wizard to create new forms, not to edit them subsequently. Create a new form using the New icon (not the wizard) and you can paste your code into the Form Code | Form HTML box.

You can set the session length in your site Global Configuration. For my development sites I usually increase the session length to 1500 - this seems to avoid most of the time-out problems.
