[Added in r1376] How-to check-in items when logging out

I think this is a Joomla Problem and not a FC Problem, but if you solved it then that would be great.

But again, try this:
1 - open the ITEM LIST in the back-end;
2 - open 15 items in 15 tabs to edit them;
3 - now close the tabs WITHOUT clicking in the CLOSE BUTTON FROM JOOMLA;
4 - refresh the ITEM LIST;
5 - you will notice that the items are all checked-out!

Again this is a session/joomla problem and if it was not solved in 1.5 and 2.5 maybe is because it can't be.

From what we understand from SESSIONS you can't validate because it is open in the DB.

i agree with algarda ... it's not FC problem
my solution is working i use it on several site you can do it

Thank you all very much. I'll try mickers solution.

@mcmurdok you are using j1.5 or j2.5? forget I just read your first post.

Try Micker solution is the easy and best so far.

There is a Joomla system plug-in which will automatically check-in articles after a specified time period.
This could be helpful for your situation as it could check-in all articles every hour or two which could prevent many cases of, for example, coming back the next day and articles still being checked-out.

Autocheckin plugin (P) (for J2.5)

If you give that a try, please come beck and tells us how it worked out.

Thanks ken,
this is similar to what i have suggested, it checks on every load for checked-out items/modules/menus etc, but has different criteria on which items and when to check-in. The criteria is checked-out time.

What do you think add to FLEXIcontent system plugin such checks:
-- Check is user is still logined?
-- Maximum checked-out time (regardless of user being still logined)

I see that the performance impact will be minimal.
e.g. time check: 99.99% of the page loads, the check will stop at a single query that will not finding any items to check-in
