Session level persistence

[4TT1L4]

I am planning to implement something like "session level persistence". Have you planned it or anything like that (maybe already done it)?

[cforce]

can u explain ur feature "session level persistence" more?
Does it mean beyond tab closed or beyond browser closed
Does it mean to define working hours in between time logging is possible, or at least running timer will end with last working minute?

I am planning it to implement using localStorage. It preserves it's contents even if the browser is closed.

It is going to work like this:

First you have no time set, so you start your timer.
It starts measuring time.
You can close the tab, even if your browser it will continue measuring time.
If you reopen the browser and go to the time entry page you will see the
time spent since you clicked on the start button.
Of course it measures time only if you clicked on the Start button. Otherwise it just stands still and saves it contents.

In a later version I plan to also implement to remember to different Issues. So you can switch between issues and still have your time saved, even without logging to the database by clicking the submit button.

Sounds good.

The feature "meausing time for several issues a the same time (cocurrent)" is another feature.

See #4

Unfortunately, none of these timers not working. So I wrote this simple script. I'm almost done save the timer in a localStorage, will soon be updated.

Hi!

Behigh: I have already implemented this function. Sorry for not telling you in time. I am going to upload it to my fork so you can see my solution.

Thank you for making this script. This was just what I needed!

TotalBrutal; Your fork has conflicts with behigh's, please try to sync the timer.js file.

Thanks for noticing. I shall, but I am very busy doing something else in the next couple weeks.
