Hi, I am a newb. Lets say I have url abc.com/?animal=cat. What I need to do is save the param in the session file but still have it available to other controllers. I can get it to work within one controller with: session[:animal] = param[:animal] but I cannot get it to save and be used by other controllers. I can hack it by adding: session[:animal] = "cat" in the application.rb and adding a before filter to the controller. How do I add a param from a url in a session to be used by all controllers? Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So sessions are not cleared out controller to controller? I found another way (prob. a better way), I am using the redirect_to to pass the variable. The funny thing about problems is that you need to know what the question is before you can solve it I guess...
