Re: Redirect To other Page From Global.asax

Hi Amit,

1. You should not modify global.asax.cs or any other mojoPortal code. If you do that then I do not offer you any help or support at all. No-one on this site provides help with forked versions of mojoPortal.

2. If you understood what session is or how session end event is triggered you would already know it is impossible to redirect from session end event. A redirect can only be done in the context of a web request. By definition session end occurs after a period of time (20 minutes by default) of no web requests by the user. With no web request there is nothing to redirect and if there was a web request then the session end would not happen. So it is impossible to ever redirect from that event.

Re: Redirect To other Page From Global.asax

As stated already a redirect is something we can do to a web request, ie the web browser requests an url and we can redirect to a different one. With no web request there is nothing to redirect and we don't even know if the user still has his web browser open or not.

My suggestion is just configure a short session timeout and in site settings don't check the box to allow persistent login so if the session times out then the user is no longer logged in and any protected page would redirect him to login if he makes a new request.

For more info see Controlling Browser Sessions

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Redirect To other Page From Global.asax

Hi,

You could create a JS to count down from the last interaction with the site and when the counter reaches zero redirect the user. This is all done client side, not server side. I see a lot of banks doing this and honestly I find it very annoying.

HTH,
