Hi!

I want a FUDForum to be a part of bigger site. I know how to log user in using one (common) log-in procedure. But if user spends a lot of time in other parts of my site, he can be automatically logged out in FUDforum part.

Is there a keep_session_alive function, that can be call by me in other pages to prevent session expiry?

You can adjust the session's lifetime in the forum's admin control panel under the session/cookie sub-heading.

You are right but this is not I asked about.

I don't know how internal sessions work, but I guess extending session time i.e. up to 1 hour would consume same resources (unnecessary - must say).

Better solution is to use special function in other pages of my site. I have found this function:

function ses_update_status($ses_id, $str=null, $forum_id=0, $ret='');

Is it a good way? If yes, how to use it?

Extending the session time won't really eat resources all that much, unless you have millions of users you won't notice it.
