    i'm developing some kinda interactive kiosk system using wordpress PHP that runs locally.

    I need a script that redirect user within specific amount of time if there is no interactivity.

    for example, when a user done browsing the system for information, they wouldn't go back to the main menu. I need a script that does that, if nobody doing anything fr like 30sec, it'll go back to the main menu (homepage)

    i'm using wordpress runs locally with XAMMP.

    THANKS in advance!

    Mmm... I think you can do something, by adding at the beginning of the page a 

    
<BODY onLoad="TheTimer()">
    Code (markup):
    the function TheTimer:
    
<script language="javascript">
redirTime = "30000"; redirURL = "insert_a_valid_url";
function TheTimer() { var ti; ti=self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); }
</script>
    Code (markup):
    and

    
function StopTimer() { clearTimeout(ti); }
    Code (markup):
    Then adding a <span onmouseover="StopTimer(); TheTimer();">--the-page-goes-here--</span> in the page that will reset the timer if there's a mouse movement over it (mouse_over), the javascript in the meantime at the end of 30 seconds will redirect the users to the main page. Really easy...

    I haven't tried it! But it should work.
