Podbase "forgets" entries after period of inaction #135

Closed danhartline closed 9 years ago

danhartline commented 10 years ago

Monica reports that if while she is inputting metadata she needs to be inactive for several minutes (e.g. 30), when she comes back to resume inputs, Podbase does not remember the new material (signalled by the lack of a "gray flash" in the edit box). Is there some sort of time-out feature that is causing this (she has to log off and reenter Podbase to get it to start accepting data again).

Yes. The session will expire eventually. I can implement functionality to keep the session alive by constantly pinging the server periodically.

I've implemented a heartbeat that will keep your session active. As a bonus, you can now see who is online in the user management panel (root only)
