I’ve got a user that consistently forgets to save data in an entry form and loses large blocks of work—an hour or so at a time getting caught up in composing… writers. 😉 Of course the ultimate answer is to get the user to change their behavior, but when it is your girlfriend and you are the developer, well… it’s good to find answers.

The problem is that I can’t get autosave to function. I’m using EE 2.5.5 (new install), and am using Expresso and Tagger field types. I’ve got the following config file settings:

$config['autosave_interval_seconds']  = "300"
$config['autosave_prune_hours'] = "24"

I never get the autosave message that apparently shows up to the left of the Submit button. Nor do I get any entries in exp_channel_entries_autosave.

I’ve looked all over the forums and bug reports and what not, and after 3 hours of looking, I’m no closer to figuring this out.

Ideas? Bug, field type incompatibility, misconfiguration…???

Thanks, -jim

Did you get this to work? I’m having a similar problem. I usually don’t want this feature, but can’t remember if I turned it off.

Assuming I didn’t, and I don’t have the config vars in, it should be there by default. It’s not for me either.
