change login session timeout in stable release 1.0

mistle

I'm trying to adapt this for 1.0: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/21562-login-session-timeout/2

It worked in 0.16. But whatever I try in 1.0, it results in an error (HTTP ERROR 500) which isn't logged.

mistle ah yeah it won't work because the Compat extender no longer exists.

This should definitely be logged somewhere. Either the Flarum log file or the webserver global log file.

It would have to be replaced with a service provider, or a custom extender.

I don't remember if this can be added to config.php directly. It might only be the cookie configuration that can be put in config.php and not the session stuff.

mistle did you find a solution for "Compat extender no longer exists"?
I have the same problem, I made the changes like @clarkwinkelmann mentioned in this post but get the Class "Flarum\Extend\Compat" not found in /flarum/app/extend.php

I read this post and I didn't understand how I have to implement this solution...

This extends session lifetime from 120 (default) to 240 minutes

return [
  (new Extend\ServiceProvider)
      ->register(CustomServiceProvider::class)
]

class CustomServiceProvider extends AbstractServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * ref: https://github.com/flarum/framework/blob/v1.4.0/framework/core/src/Foundation/InstalledSite.php#L159
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->container->extend('config', function ($container) {
            $container->set('session.lifetime', 240);
            return $container;
        });
    }
}
