similar to: Server-side session management for short session expirations?

Hi, I''ve just been pleasantly surprised, again, by how much Rails does for me, but I am *really* surprised. Surprised as in "how the heck did that happen?" I''d really like to understand this and would appreciate any help. Big picture... the user is presented with a form that allows them to select one or more check boxes to record their allergies. The form uses the

Sorry to be such a bother but I''m not getting this. I have two models: Emrec and Session (I''m using AR for session mgmt.) In my worker I can access the Emrec model and delete a record, AS LONG AS I don''t try to access the Session model. With the Session model access commented out as below, the Emrec record gets deleted. If I uncomment those lines, the Emrec

I''m using backgroundrb for session management and deletion of visitor-entered information when a session is abandoned. The visitor can either click a button to end their session and remove their data, or backgroundrb will do it for them after 5 minutes of inactivity. Everything''s working fine, I think. If the visitor explicitly logs out, then when the worker checks for their

Greetings! I''m trying to update a set of records from the same model on one form. The AWD book gives an example on p.356 but I guess I''m not understanding it. I can see from the error message I''m getting that the controller is receiving a hash of hashes back from the view, and that it''s got the stuff I expected (two values per record that was sent to the

Is it possible to create / save a new record from a controller other than the one I specified when I created the scaffolding? My situation is that I have two tables. Emrecs is the parent. Actors is the child and has a foreign key named emrec_id that references emrec.id. I scaffolded both, creating controllers and views for each. My app collects info from the user to fill in the two tables,

If, in the controller, I start a worker and pass in an argument like this: session[:job_key] = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :foo_worker, :args => {:emrec_id => @emrec.id}) How do I access the value in the worker? I can''t seem to figure it out ;-p Thanks! Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hi, I''m trying to delete a file system (<xml_26548975.xml>) File.delete("xml_26548975.xml") But I get this error: "Permission denied - ./script/../config/../uploads/xml_26548975.xml".

When I create a child record I''m not automagically getting the parent ID put into the fk field. Does object.new take parameters that allows me to do that as part of the AR record creation? Or do I need to do it separately? Or am I missing the boat altogether ;-) Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Greetings! I could really use some help understanding what Rails puts into the session store related to the objects it creates. I''ve found documentation on how _I_ can put / get info into it, but can''t find the docs on what _Rails_ puts into it. I''ve got a simple app that collects some data from the user, stores it in a db record, allows the user to edit it, display

Is there something special I need to do to access session data in a worker? I''m using an AR session store. I''ve been working with Ezra''s tutorial, modifying it a little here and there to figure it out. So I changed the progress bar to a simple count-down in the worker which sends back the count to display in the view. No big deal. But if I try to access session

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

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. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

Has anyone gotten the :html option for specifying a ''fallback'' action if javascript''s not enabled working on form_remote_tag (or remote_form_for)? I can''t figure out how to specify the action that''s supposed to be invoked if js _is_ enabled. Or maybe I''m just misunderstanding how this thing is supposed to work. I was assuming

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, this is a

Hello, There has been an annoyance with OpenSSH that has been bugging me lately. It pays no attention to pw_change and pw_expire fields from the passwd file for users by default. Thus even if the admin has set a user's account to expire 5 days ago they can still login. So one might say, just add 'UseLogin yes' and all of your problems will be solved. This of course is not a good

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...
