Rails - Aug 2005 - overriding CGI::Session

I am using ActiveRecordStore for my session storage.  I would like an  
additional field "foo" to be saved when the session gets stored:

create table sessions(
   id int(11) not null auto_increment,
   sessid varchar(255),
   data text,
   foo varchar(255)
)

Is it possible to substitute in a custom class for CGI::Session so  
that I can set the attribute session.foo?  I know you can set a  
custom session storage class with  
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.session_class = XXXSession, but that  
only lets you override how the session is stored.  I don''t believe  
that lets you set custom attributes on a CGI::Session object itself.

thanks,
Jeff

Hi all,

I''m trying to modify and pass along the params (append the id of a  
newly created object) hash as I redirect from one controller to another:

      
redirect_to :controller=>''other'',
:action=>''create'', :params=>params

which doesn''t work of course ( seems to concatenate all the key/vals  
into a string ).  How should I pass the params hash to a second  
controller?

James,

Try this:

redirect_to {:controller => ''other'', :action =>
''create''}.merge(params)

try this:

redirect_to params.merge(:controller => ''other'', :action
=> ''create'')

thanks for the replies... unfortunately.. ... merging, clone/ 
updating, all of the seem to stringify the hash before passing it.

boo, I say.
