similar to: Syntax of session's updated_at field ?

So, given a sessionID, I have need to read and write the session stored information ''manually'', from _outside_ an actual Rails request/controller. Readers, I know your first response may be to tell me I don''t really want to do that. Trust me though, I really do, it makes sense for me in my case. I know this wouldn''t work if you''re using the new cookie

Hello, Running Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.2.2 against an Oracle XE database (sigh). I just upgraded Rails from 1.2.3 to 2.2.2, which made my cookie based system for storing session information to error out due to the 4Kb limit. So, I tried to turn on the active_record_store system by un- commenting out the "config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store" line in

Hi everyone- Model.update_all works and changes the records, but it''s not changing the updated_at field. Am I doing something wrong or is this by design?

Anyone know what''s up with the activerecord session store when using the oracle adapter in Rails 2.0.2 ? I can set a session variable and can then see it''s actually set using the debugger, but after the request completes the session is empty (the @data member is nil). The session_id is staying the same and the updated_at field is being updated but nothing I put in a session

I know this shouldn''t be in the view but to test the code it is. Anyway if I do just session[user] I get back the user id (the id from the user table) which is good. However this code does not work. <% a = session[:user] %> <% uname = User.find(:first, :conditions => id = a) %> <%= @uname %> TIA Stuart

I am unable to get ActiveRecord session support to work under 2.x against a SQL Server database. I''m starting to wonder if anyone is running 2.x against SQL Server? Is anyone running under the following configuration: Rails 2.x SQL Server 2000 DB (using AR adapter in ODBC mode) AR store for ActionController session store. I''d like to chat with you if you are. Thanks, Wes --

I am using active record sessions and everything works fine. I am integrating it with phpbb however so i need some extra fields populated in the session table. In application.rb i put a before_filter to update the session table I have a model for the sessions $ more app/models/session.rb class Session < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "session_id" set_table_name

Has anyone managed to replace ActiveRecordStore::Session with their own model? In the source (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/actionpack/lib/ action_controller/session/active_record_store.rb) it says you can override the default by setting CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.session_class = MySessionClass I have tried doing this in a number of ways but I get all kinds of weird errors, as

I want to set my app up to prevent multiple simultaneous logins by the same user. What strategies are people using? Is it worth going to database session storage just for this? martin

The Agile book seems to say I should specify this as follows, probably in the environments.rb: ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:database_manager] = CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore BUT the environments.rb file would have me Un-Comment this: config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store Anyway, I''ve tried both, and in both cases it

Hi, I put the following in my environment.rb file: ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS.update (:database_manager => CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore) Runnning WEBrick via "script/server" and trying to load any page served by a controller results in an error like the following: #<ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: ERROR: null value in column "id"

I am trying to speed up some DB operations and perhaps have gone overboard with indexes. Does MySQL usually use only one index per query and simply match keys on the results of the indexed first part? For example: DELETE FROM tokens WHERE 6813946236211560448 <= fnv AND fnv < 6818449835838930944 AND updated_at<''2010-06-20 14:08:55'' AND occurrences=0; If I understand

The following short console session illustrates the problem: Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2) >> topic=BlogTopic.find(4) => #<BlogTopic id: 4, parent: 2, topic: "Topic Four", created_at: "2009-07-13 21:31:22", updated_at: "2009-09-14 00:37:29"> >> topic.inspect => "#<BlogTopic id: 4, parent: 2, topic: \"Topic

Hello, Anybody help me out? I done googled it good and didn''t find anything (which should mean that I''ve done something wrong). Not much code to talk about here, quite simply I have an attribute that is serialzied and when I update it, irb shows the object and my methods run on it as it were indeed so. Though when I reload it changes the data to a string. Not yaml, just one

How can I get the sessid from the current session object? For instance, I log in the system, and want to know which sessid I''m using. I''m storing the session using active_record. Later on, I want to restore a session finding it using the sessid. Thanks in advance. Fernando Lujan

This is for Rails 3.1.1 I have a field called last_seen in a model. This field will be updated when the something about the record is seen in the real world (don''t worry about this part) So I go x.update_attribute(:last_seen, Time.now) and the following happens is UPDATE "blah" SET "last_seen" = ''2012-10-23 08:57:46.179288'', "updated_at"

How can I get number of rows that was updated "today"?

I suspect this has been asked 400 times, but Google yields 2-3 rather complex gymnastics in blogs (and possibly dated), and searching list archives on ruby-forum proves kinda useless. Using standard forms, it''s fairly easy to use @object.errors[:field_name] in the form to embed an error message right next to the field that has the invalid entry. The controller uses a simple conditional

Hi All, I added a column to the sessions table called "created_at" in order to allow the created time to be recorded. However, different from other Models, the column does not update automatically. Therefore, what codes should I add to update the sessions."created_at" value? It is important for avoiding hacker keeping the sessions alive. Thanks much! Arthur -- Posted via

I am considering using merb to process file uploads. For the most part I''m going to keep it lean and mean. I would however like to access my active_record_session from my Rails app. Is this built into merb yet? Or is it OK to just add require ''action_controller/session/ active_record_store'' to merb_init.rb and then create my own session object
