From a previous question of mine I found out I can set: session :session_expires => Time.now + 10.years In the application controller. But I want to be able to set the session_expires when the person logs in based on if they click ''keep me logged in'' or not. Does anyone know how I could do this. I can''t seem to find any good information on this but it should be very simple... in theory.
