variableTimeoutTrigger

User and domain scopes

Just before a user's or a domain's variables expire, the HTTP URL specified in that scope's variableTimeoutTrigger is activated. (The time after which variables expire is set in the configuration variable variableTimeout.) This URL could be used to execute an application file that clears the database of temporary user session data, purges the user name from a list of logged-in chat users, or many other possibilities.

There is no default timeout trigger. To have a trigger execute upon the expiry of each user's variables, you would assign the desired value to variableTimeoutTrigger (in user scope) at some point during each user's session. To set a trigger for a particular domain, you would assign to variableTimeoutTrigger in domain scope in an application file being accessed from that domain.

The URL in this configuration variable cannot contain meta tags because the trigger mechanism does not evaluate meta tags. Nevertheless, you can include user- or domain-specific information in the URL by including meta tags in the assignment to variableTimeoutTrigger, which are evaluated at the time of the assignment.
