Hi there,
I am trying to figure out how to have persistent sessions (with like a
month until expiration) for my users, sort of like a "remember me"
functionality but that is handled automatically on login. I am hoping I
can get some help from someone who is more experienced with Rails.
I am currently using a controller called "Sessions" to handle my
session
properties.
This is what my controller looks like.
def create
@current_user = User.find_by_login_and_password(
params[:login], params[:password])
if @current_user
session[:user_id] = @current_user.id
if session[:return_to]
redirect_to session[:return_to]
session[:return_to] = nil
else
redirect_to links_path
end
else
render :action => ''new''
end
end
def destroy
session[:user_id] = @current_user = nil
end
I have surfed around the internet looking for solutions but their is no
real consistent method out there. Everyone seems to have a different
opinion on how to manage sessions/cookies. I am hoping to not have to
change my controller structure (by say installing a plug-in) and
sticking with Sessions creation.
Thank you in advance.

Is is possible to install a plugin like Authlogic or restful_authentication with a current user and sessions model and controller? I have already created a very basic user and session system and my users are tied in to my voting model so I am hoping to not have to rebuild any of my database. If this is possible, do you know of a good tutorial for adding user management to an existing site with a more basic user management system?
