login expiration time

[Warwick JC]

Hello.

I have a web2py html page (e.g. idex.html)  that has another page in iframe within the app. After session timeout, I get redirected back to the login page which works at the iframe page and not the main page.

I used this in the model.py: 

auth.settings.expiration = 1800

The problem is that I cant get the redirection done from the index.html page but happens at the iframe page.

How can I achieve this? Is there another place that I can place the 'auth.settings.expiration'

Regards

If you are using an iframe to display a page from the same app,  I have the impression that your design might be wrong. You will probably find a better way after you give this a little more thought. Sorry if this answer does not seem so helpful.

Thanks.

Is it wrong to have iframe pages from the same app?

Actually I got kind of a workaround.

In my iframe, a redirect to the login page was distorting the page since the user.html was not resized.

So I did this to escape the iframe and go full-page:

<script>

this.top.location !== this.location && (this.top.location = this.location);

</script>

It isn't really 'wrong' as such,  but it is usually not the best or most flexible way of displaying your own html content.

Iframes are normally used to embed and isolate third-party content into your website, e.g. advertisements. 

The iframe allows a method of ceding control of a portion of your screen to be taken over and used by 'someone else' e.g.  perhaps a credit card payment gateway,  a PDF viewer,  or simply pages from other websites.
