Add to "Administration" package, move settings function into its own file for performance

Here are most of the fixes necessary. I will be able to see if it's working tomorrow fully, but this gets rid of the other 7.x-2.x bugs.

Try this instead - I'm afraid your fix introduced a spelling mistake on the hook_permission() and there were DB calls that needed upgrading to D7.

Anyway, as I desperately needed it I fixed it.

My system doesn't produce good patches so here's a zip of the whole thing.

Changes - I've put it into the "Administration" package, extracted the settings function into its own file (need to keep the footprint down).

Personally I'd separate out the block timer into its own sub-module, then it could have dependencies and you wouldn't need to check every time you wanted to display the block.

Fantastic! thanks, adaddinsane for the update...

Here is a patch for d7 installation errors taken from 7.x-2.x-dev. this patch added fixes for
#1034288: Fatal error: Call to undefined function db_fetch_object()
#960356: Activation error: Table autologout already exists.

The patch above didn't work for me so I made my own modifications to 6.x-2.4 to make it work on Drupal 7. In order for this to work, I also need to run the JSTimer 7.x-1.x-dev version. The other release has a bug in theme_jstimer that was causing errors.

I am posting here in case it helps someone else.

[EDIT] Ignore this, I somehow missed some of the other patches and I think they actually did some of the additional changes that I did and more some. Sorry :(

Hey there, a minor bug I found it: if you're working with overlay, the overlay closes within the same time you entered in the configurationpage of autologout. Problem is, the timer doesn't restarts when you surf between several pages within overlaymode, it just closes after working a certain time.

Any resolutions?

My resolution for this was to turn off overlay. Probably not that helpful to you unfortunately and I haven't had time to look back at this in a while to suggestion a better resolution. Sorry :(

There are some patches in git http://drupalcode.org/project/autologout.git/log/refs/heads/7.x-2.x

How do those compare to what's here?

@jrglasgow - it would be great if you could discuss your plans for the 7.x branch. Is the 7.x-2.x a port of 6.x-2.x (as my title indicates) or is it based on 6.x-4.x? When do you hope to have a stable release (even if it's beta or rc status). Thanks!

7.x-2.x is a direct port of 6.x-2.x. 6.x-3.x and 6.x-4.x are variations on the autologout idea completely written by other parties.

the patch in http://drupal.org/node/1034288#comment-5550950 contains the patch in comment 2.
#3 changes could be included is a patch against the current head would be included.

Since you requested it I just created a beta1 release.

Great, so it sounds like the 7.x-2.x branch and the new stable release are working OK for folks so the original purpose of this issue is "fixed." However, as you note there is a new idea in comment #3 that's worth considering. I'm re-titling this issue to focus on that.

Thanks, jrglasgow!

added to "Administration" package

the settings were already in another file

Great work - thanks again jrglasgow!
