similar to: Switching to active_record_store session management errors out

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 --

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

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

The comments in: actionpack/lib/action_controller/session/activerecord_store.rb document this method for changing the session table_name: # You may configure the table name, primary key, and data column. # For example, at the end of config/environment.rb: # CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.table_name = ''legacy_session_table'' #

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

I''m having a problem switching from cookie sessions (the default) to active record sessions. I''ve created the sessions table via the rake task, uncommented the line config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store in my environment.rb file, cleared out my browsers cookies, restarted the server (natch), but still the it''s using cookie_store instead of

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

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"

Hi, After a bunch of snooping in AWDWR and Railsguides I can''t reach a good understanding to the following question: What is a session stored via the active_record_store option unique to? In other words, how does rails bind the user to their session under the active_record_store option? This concern has arisen in the following way... ...I have two use levels in my app: 1) authenticated

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

I would like to get at all models in a rails application to be able to add a field to every one of them as part of a migration. Something like the following: Appmodels.each { |x| add_column x.table_name.to_s, :foo, :text } I understand I can get the table name using ActiveRecord::Base#table_name, but how do I get all the models into an array that I can use in the above manner? -- Cheers, Hasan

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

Hi, There doesn''t seem to be any previous posts about this problem, I must be setting things up wrongly at very basics... Firstly, the problem... I can''t get session[] to persist with active_record_store. I enabled (config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store) in environment.rb and created the sessions table at my MySQL database. When I do a session[:blah] =

Hi, I just switched from storing my sessions on disk to storing them in MySQL. Changing environment.rb ''config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store''. But now all my tests fail.

After switching to active_record_store to host sessions, I now get the following errors: ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in Pages#edit Showing app/views/pages/edit.html.erb where line #5 raised: No :secret given to the #protect_from_forgery call.

Dear Rails community, As part of a programming languages/security research group at the University of Maryland, we are building some static analysis tools for Rails applications. These tools work by taking formally specified properties of interest, and then analyzing code to verify that those properties indeed hold. Using these tools, we found some security vulnerabilities in Rails, and we would

I set up session to save to the db and everytime I hit a page I get a new session entry created. Some of them have session_ids of more than 5 digits, but lots of them have session_ids like 0. Something is amiss. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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
