Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and web development. I just bought up the Agile book and I''ve got a question about the :session_expires option. In the book, page 317, it says the :session_expires "option should probably not be used." Does anyone know why? The book doesn''t explain or give any indication as to why. In an application I''m working on I have a need to keep some information for a very...

from the Agile Book, i see i can set the absolute session expiry time via: ActionController::CGIRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:session_expires] however, I don''t see anything about what the actual default setting is when a session is created. also, is there a way to set the expiration to happen when the browser is closed? in PHP, this can be accomplished using session.cookie_lifetime 0 in php.ini can this be accomplished i...

...this has no effect-- I can still log in multiple times with the admin account. For [2], I''m assuming this would be done by setting a time limit on the session. Researching ActionController::Base#process_cgi (which apparently is just an alias for Ruby''s CGI::Session) turns up the :session_expires option which seems to be what I''m looking for. However, I see the following in the AWD book, pg.306: ":session_expires The absolute time of the expiry of this session. Like :new_session, this option should probably not be used under Rails." Hmmm. Any suggestio...

There''s got to be a simple answer to this... def logout reset_session flash[:notice] = "Logged out" redirect_to :action => ''index'' end The flash never shows up, and doesn''t seem to be in the new session. --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

According to the Rails book, the session object has an attribute called :session_expires, but they don''t encourage its use. Currently I handle session expiry by using a cron job to delete session files that have not been modified in the last X minutes (it is a design/security requirement for this project that sessions expire after a finite period of inactivity). However...

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does

...ion in my environment.rb file but I keep getting a syntax error on WeBRICK startup. I''m trying both of the ways listed in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionOptions. FYI I''m new to rails so this is probably easy. 1) ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_expires] = Time.local(2008,"jan")) or 2) config.action_controller.session :session_expires => Time.local(2008,"jan")) but either way I keep getting the following syntax error: => Booting WEBrick... c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_origina...

How do I keep the Rails session from expiring when the browser exits? I would ideally like the user to be logged for a few days (e.g. 2 weeks). Do I use the Rails "session" or "cookies"? Also, my understanding is that session[:session_expires] doesn''t work.

How do I display, in breakpointer for example, session.session_key or session.session_expires ?? The only one that works is session.session_id for some reason. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am looking into creating a website similar to a chat program. I know when the user logs in. However, the user can log out any of the following ways: Logout link - This one is easy to handle User closer browser window User hits the back button User loses his/her internt connection. Is there a way within rails to handle the latter three user actions? Thanks! -- Posted via

...ion FileUtils.rm "public/#{file.filename}" } emrec.destroy reset_session end I need to execute the same functionality when their session times out and I''m having a real problem understanding how to go about it. If I understand what I''ve read, the :session_expires option, which I''d hoped to use to control their timeout, works with cookie-based, client-side session management, not server-side. Is that right? Is there a way to do server-side session mgmt. in a case like this? TIA, Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You re...

...to get it to work. I have tried the following 2 methods but neither seem to work. When i check the expiry time in firefox it always says "end of session". What is the proper way to handle this so the session cookie "_session_id" doesnt expire for a year? I tried session[:session_expires] = 1.year.from_now and cookies[:_session_id] = { :value => session.session_id, :expires => Time.now+31536000, :domain => ".domain.com" } I get the following in the log, but viewing the cookie in firefox doesnt reflect this...
