similar to: Setting session variables and expiration issue.

Hello, I''m having some difficulty with using sessions. Basically, I''d like to be able to store a hash in an action: def action session[:details] = {:value => some_hash, :session_path => "/main"} end I''d like to be able to retrieve the hash in another action under the same "main" controller. I retrieve it by doing the following: def

when setting it in my environment.rb config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''_myapp_session'', :secret => ''3a64394bb895f1f05e0c07f71127d93d'' } I cannot get it back in the script/console .. :session_key=>"_session_id" !!! why ? >> ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS =>

Hi everyone, Does Ruby support variable variables like PHP (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php)? Or do I have to use eval, like some_hash.each_pair{|key, pair| eval "#{key} = #{value}" } Or is there some other way? I''m actually trying to figure this out in order to use ez_where to create its conditions from a hash, so if this isn''t even

Hi everyone, I''ve been working on some code which will take params and turn them into a WHERE clause for the :conditions option in finder methods. So far I''ve been able to do some very simple text matching. I''d like to be able to support ranges, and then go from there (in fact I''ve added code for date ranges but I''m embarrassed of it so I

Hello, this is killing me: i can''t find a way to let idle sessions expire after a certain period of time. If they don''t expire, they will pile up until there''s no more memory available. Please, can anybody give me a hint? Basically, all I need is a hash or list with all the sessions in DRbStore. Greetings Michael Kastner

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

I''m going to explicitly time out sessions if they''re idle more than X minutes. Like online banking sites do. How do I set things up so that, when a session expires, a set of database records and a set of files that may have been created (which are identified via a seperate set of database records) are deleted just before the session data? TIA, Bill

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/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

This is of course disallowed, which I discovered only after nearly completing my spanking new ajaxified UI. What is the motivation behind this, and what is the best workaround? This UI does a scriptaculous drag-and-drop of items from a first div (div1) over to a second div (div2), which triggers the contents of div2 to be updated to reflect the drop. No prob, thus far. But then the

Hello * Obviously the rhtml below does not work, but it should be apparent what I try to achieve - I would like to give the user the choice to submit a form either to action1 or action2 but I cannot figure out how?! It would be great if someone could give some assistance. Thanks a lot, Alex <%= start_form_tag :action1 => ''save'', :action2 =>

Hi, I''ve got a TimeStamp field in MySql and want to use the hour and minutes in the value. for example: StartTime = Schedule.find(action2.ScheduleID).DateTimeStart.to_s That returns "Mon Feb 20 08:00:00 Romance Standard Time 2006" How do I get 08:00 returned ??

Hello, I have the following structure: model foo has_many :bars:, :dependent => true end model bar belongs_to :foo end In my action, when i try to save foo: def save begin f = foo.new f.a = 5 begin b = bar.new b.a = 10 f.bars << b rescue Exception => exc ... end f.save! <-- This does not happen

Hi, I''m calling a helper I''ve written - format_time() that is called from my views with a given time that was selected from my database and was returned to the view via an instance variable. When I call format_time from a partial, I see that I get some kind of String error and the partial won''t render. Basically, the object being passed in to format_time is already a

Can I use samba-tool to globally set passwords to never expire like this: /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --max-pwd-age=0 Or do I have to set max age to some positive value and set expiration in ADUC when creating each user as "Password never expires"?

@Jeff: ok you just want to calculate and display. You would need several tools to achieve that on each machine, as ldapsearch if you don't find a way to retrieve information from DB magically. Perhaps configuring nsswitch to get info for "shadow" line could help you. I mean /etc/shadow is supposed (in my own foggy world) to store information about password, expiration, etc.. I never

Hi, I''m developing a dashboard like page and basically want to combine the result of multiple actions on a page. I''ve done this so far: def index r1 = render_to_string :action => "action1" r2 = render_to_string :action => "action2" render :text => r1+r2 end This works, but now I want to render from other controllers and this is where

Hi All! I''m searching a good way to set some options in my Controllers; I tried defining a custom function, ie: class PeopleController < ApplicationController set_my_actions :action1, :action2 end class ApplicationController def self.set_my_actions(*args) @@my_actions = args end end But ''@@my_actions'' sets the class variable to _every_

I setup a form_remote_tag with several submit buttons, all of them share the same name ( ''do_action'' ) and their values differ. eg. button1 named do_action with value ACTION1 button2 named do_action with value ACTION2, etc No matter which button I press the value passed is always the one defined for the first of these buttons ( the correct value associated with the pressed

Hi there I am wondering if we can use before_filter in the form of :action OR :action what i want to do is to implement one of the actions, if the first failed, then go to the second when i use before_filter :action1 before_filter :action2 each method will run them, my case is that i want to check if one of them is true and not both any idea?
