Extending profile editing time - more then 7 days?
November 09, 2011, 10:09:32 am
Is it possible to extend the time a personalised link stays active to editing personal information? It says in the documentation (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/Linking+Profiles) that links stay active for 7 days. We need to extend that to one month...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Currently it is hard coded as a constant

But we've got a new extensible setting system in CiviCRM now, so might be a good project to make this a setting that folks can change

in the longer term, we'd want to make this a variable based on context (so some checksums have a short lifetime while others have a longer lifetime)

If you have the skills to work on this and would like to implement it, that would be great :)

Thanks Lobo. Can you possibly point me to where this is hard-coded?

CRM/Contact/BAO/Contact/Utils.php, static function generateChecksum

$live = 24 * 7;

Note that while hacking it to meet your needs for this release will work, upgrading will become more painful. Would be great if you can contribute code and make it a setting. Is a relatively easy project (1-3 hours?)

THANK YOU!

Unfortunately my coding skills are pretty limited, but our programmer is already working on a number of civiCRM projects for us that we intend to submit soon. This is definitely being added to the list.
