Timeout-dialog is a JQuery plugin that displays a timeout popover after a certain period of time. The timeout dialog should be used whenever you want to display to the user that the logged in session is about to expire. It creates a light box with a countdown and options to stay signed in or sign out.

##Requirements

Yii 1.1.x, jQuery.ui core script

##Usage

In your layout view:

[php]
<?php
    $this->widget('ext.timeout-dialog.ETimeoutDialog', array(
        // Get timeout settings from session settings.
        'timeout' => Yii::app()->getSession()->getTimeout(),
        // Uncomment to test.
        // Dialog should appear 20 sec after page load.
        //'timeout' => 80,
        'keep_alive_url' => $this->createUrl('/site/keepalive'),
        'logout_redirect_url' => $this->createUrl('/site/logout'),
    ));
?>

In your SiteController:

[php]
/**
 * Keep the session alive, called by timeout-dialog.
 */
public function actionKeepAlive()
{
    echo 'OK';
    Yii::app()->end();
}
