hello,

definitely not a CS issue, but also not likely to be an AT issue at all. looks like some other thing (some cache sytem, cookies) that could be causing this..
AT does not "log out" or anything like that, it doesn't perform any action on user logins, session time outs or anything like that... this is handled by Joomla itself...

ok, thanks. If its not a common issue it must be a system one. That gives me a steer so thanks, Ben

I did find some reference to the below which may have some bearing, but as I am not technical I do not know if it applies to CS or AT?:

The problem arises if you have a component that doesn't use a mosRedirect at the end of processing a 'save' or 'apply' task. You can simulate the problem by commenting out the mosRedirct at line 789 in admin.content.php and then saving some content.

The way I fixed this on my component was to add a line at the end of my toolbar.php file to clear the $task variable like so:

Code:
$task = ""; //Have to clear it, otherwise Joomla tries to start a new session (as of 1.0.13)

Do you know if this could be relevant to AT or CS?

Could be completely irrelevant?

Thanks, Ben

where did you find this...? mosRedirect is something of Joomla 1.0..!!! you're talking about 10 years ago (2005), this has absolutely nothing to do with it

fair enough, I did a search on the login issue and this was the only one that I could find that seemed relevant.. I will keep looking. Thanks, Ben
