A cookie would probably be easiest, just set the cookie each time the
page is loaded. Cookie.lastactivity.
Then do something like:
<cfif isDefined("session.userid")
AND datediff("n", cookie.lastactivity, now()) GT 5>
Your session expired.
<cfelseif NOT defined("session.userid")>
Hey you gotta login.
<cfelse>

Subject: Login expired vs. Not logged in
In an app I'm developing, I'm using a simple system of using session
variables for access control:
<cfif not IsDefined("session.userid")>
Hey, you gotta login.
<cfelse>
.
Is it possible to detect if a user session has _expired_?
<cfif *expired*>
Your login session has expired. You must login again.
<cfelseif not IsDefined("session.userid")>
Hey, you gotta login.
<cfelse>
...
Roll my own, using cookies?
Thanks,
Jim
