How to increase the time before the expiration of the flow? #322

Closed eved42 closed 4 years ago

eved42 commented 6 years ago

Hi, I have a form with only 3 steps but I have to do a long research in my database before submiting the form.

If this research take a long time, the user can't submit it's form because the flow is expired. It is possible to increase the expiration time of the flow ? If yes, how ?

Thank you.

(Project under Symfony 3.3)

Assuming the session is used to store flow data (which is the default), you'll need to increase the session lifetime.

Ok thank you for your answer.

According to this post, I will test this : 

// config.yml
framework:
    session:
        cookie_lifetime: 7200
        gc_maxlifetime: 3600

GC (garbage collection) will be reset every time the server is hit, meaning if the user is active, he'll have 3600 to continue working. The cookie_lifetime will force the user to log out in its limit. In this example, the user will have one hour to be inactive and will be forced out in 2 hours.
