Session Inactivity Timeout Implementation in AppGini Applications

Overview

This document describes a comprehensive session inactivity timeout system for AppGini applications that combines server-side session management with client-side user interface features. The implementation automatically logs out inactive users and provides visual warnings before logout occurs.

The following flow diagram illustrates the complete session timeout system workflow, including user activity detection, warning display, and automatic logout process:

$j(() => {
	// on checking or unchecking the 'Is absent' checkbox, disable/enable fields accordingly
	$j('#is_abscent').on('change', updateFieldsBasedOnAbsence);

	setTimeout(updateFieldsBasedOnAbsence, 400); // run after the page is fully loaded
})

const updateFieldsBasedOnAbsence = () => {
	// Change is_abscent to your actual checkbox field name

rem deploy.bat
rem This batch file is used to deploy a single AppGini app to multiple servers.

rem Change the following line to point to the .axp file of your app
set AXP_FILE="C:\users\johndoe\Documents\My Apps\example.axp"

rem Path to AppGini executable (change this if AppGini is installed in a different folder)
set APPGINI="C:\Program Files (x86)\AppGini\AppGini.exe"

rem Generate the app once

Bash script to switch PHP version on Debian/Ubuntu

You can run multiple versions of PHP on the same server. This is useful in many cases. For example:

• Testing the same PHP app under multiple PHP versions.
• Running several PHP apps that each requires a different version of PHP

I personally find this very useful to rapidly test apps generated by AppGini under multiple PHP versions.

AppGini is a nocode/lowcode graphical tool for configuring and generating web applications for easily managing data for small businesses, organizations, teams in small/large companies, or even your indvidual projects. Apps created by AppGini support multiple users, are responsive and mobile-friendly, work on LAMP stack for easy installation and wide support, allow importing and exporting of data to CSV, and many more features. A free fully working trial of AppGini can be downloaded from here

Steps to add a theme switcher to your AppGini app

1. Place the code below in the generated hooks/footer-extras.php file.
2. Open the folder where AppGini is installed, typically C:\program files\appgini and navigate to the add-ons\themes folder.
3. Copy all the CSS files in that folder to the resources\initializr\css folder inside your AppGini app.

If you follow the above steps, you should be able to switch your app themes like this:

bigprof

<script>
  $j(() => {
    // show row numbers in TVP of the following tables
    // CHANGE THE TABLE NAMES IN THE LINE BELOW TO MATCH YOUR APP
    const tables = ['customers', 'employees'],
          tn = AppGini.currentTableName();

    if(tables.indexOf(tn) < 0) return;
    if(!tn || !$j('#sendToPrinter').length) return;

Simple automated GIT Deployment using GIT Hooks

Here are the simple steps needed to create a deployment from your local GIT repository to a server based on this in-depth tutorial.

How it works

You are developing in a working-copy on your local machine, lets say on the master branch. Most of the time, people would push code to a remote server like github.com or gitlab.com and pull or export it to a production server. Or you use a service like deepl.io to act upon a Web-Hook that's triggered that service.
