Some of you may have run into the problem that the default session timeout (about 15 minutes) isn't always useful if your users have to fill a large form with lots of text.

Often you get after those: 'Session timed out' and after login the user has to type all again. To fix that, you can wait for the login and refill the form with the saved data. That is not very handy and quite difficult to implement.

A very handy and fast fix for this session timeout is, that you query the server every minute once to keep the session alive without requiring the user to reload the page. I found out that that soloution is used even in SMF, so it seems to be quite common.

So just add the following lines to an extra page or the start of your index-file.

session_start(); if (isset($_GET['sessionfix']))Â? exit;

And now add the magic javascript, which updates that in the template or html file.

That's it!

Open Subs.php and alter the following things.

After:

    static $bbc_codes = array(), $itemcodes = array(), $no_autolink_tags = array();
static $disabled;

Add:

$message = preg_replace('/http:\/\/([^\s\.]+).(youtube.com\/watch\?v=)([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)([^\s]*)/', '[youtube]$3[/youtube]', $message);

After:

            array(
'tag' => 'b',
'before' => '<b>',
'after' => '</b>',
)

Add:

            array(
'tag' => 'youtube',
'before' => ''
),

Today I finished the drag and drop functionality for the inventory and added the action bar. You may know both from other (online) games, but its still something quite new for gta online gaming. So I hope you guys like it!

This is the first version of GTA:Tournament's Visual Inventory. At the moment you can hover items, to see what they do (like those EDs) and doubleclicky them to activate them (leads to slow health refill).

We made some nice progress on the battlearea. Elyks converted an initial version from pawn and I fixed most issues coming up. Currently only respawn is missing and what happens if you disconnect.

By the way, you can find screenshots of testing previews at the gtat media database.
