I have an app where any user (no login required) can vote on something and I need a way to limit them to one vote per session. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot for any help you can offer. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Off the top of my head:
class VoteManager
def initialize(session)
@session = session
end
def submit(*args)
unless @session[:voted]
vote = Vote.create!(*args)
@session[:voted] = true
vote
end
end
end
# in controller
vote_manager = Vote.new(session)
vote_manager.submit(params[:vote]) # will return nil if voted before

The thing is that you are going to prune the sessions table (you should be doing that too) and they are going to be nullified, but if you keep sessions for 2 weeks is not a problem having votes without a session assigned. Disclaimer: i haven''t done anything like this but i think it may for you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
