XF 2.0 Increase Online status timeout

[Matthew Yates]

Hi guys, first post so go gentle, I've ported over from VB and am just having a little trouble increasing this option above the limited 60 minutes.

I found online how you do it on older version but not on ZF2?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks @imno007 I will try in my first opportunity.

Did you observe any MySQL problem like overload or interruptions?

With this particular change or after changing anything in the file? In either case, no. I've been editing these settings for a decade now and haven't had any trouble as a result. Tuo periculo utere, though, and all that. Use at your own risk.

Well, you're welcome to, but I don't personally have a need for it. I think the default timeout limit is a little ridiculous and adds an unnecessary obstacle to attracting more users, but I've already found a way around it and I prefer that all my users be real people.
