at the beginning of the page.

* Keep session alive, for example, while editing or creating an article.
*
* @return  void

// only load once
if ($loaded) {
return;
}
 
// Include mootools framework
self::framework();
 
$config  = JFactory::getConfig();
$lifetime  = ($config->get('lifetime') * 60000);
$refreshTime = ($lifetime <= 60000) ? 30000 : $lifetime - 60000;
//refresh time is 1 minute less than the liftime assined in the configuration.php file
 
// the longest refresh period is one hour to prevent integer overflow.
if ($refreshTime > 3600000 || $refreshTime <= 0) {
$refreshTime = 3600000;
}
 
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
