similar to: Sharing Session Between Two Applications

Hello, I know how to share sessions between subdomains in PHP. Can anyone please guide me as to how I can share sessions using Ruby? Where can I set the value of domain for which the cookie is set? I would like for a user to login on the home page and then go to blog.home.com and not have to login again. Any guidance/pointers are appreciated. Thanks''

Hey, so - I''ve been fiddling about and fell in to use Joe''s simple-yet- painful SHLG (I shouldn''t complain... not at least I have time to produce one :)). I just recently plugged in memcache, and- it''s not preserving my login. I traced the execution and it sets the output of User.authenticate (a user AR object) into @session[''user'']

Does anyone know a way to dynamically change the session_domain option of ActionController::CgiRequest? I want to have a login section on an index page (www.example.com) that takes a subdomain, username, password, authenticates, then redirects to http://#{subdomain}.mysite.com. I need to set the session_domain option (to the subdomain) dynamically so the cookie can be read when the user arrives

I am using the restful authentication plugin and am always prompted to login if a different subdomain is accessed. I have found a couple rails "solutions", but none of them seem to work: # development.rb 1. ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:session_key] = ".localhost" 2. ActionController::Base.session_options[:key] = ".localhost" Does anyone

We''re going to have problems keeping cookies across domains. We want people to shop in one domain (e.g. "booksareus.com") and then checkout on the same server securely under a different domain (e.g. "greatbooks.com"). When we make the jump to the secure domain (the checkout link) can we submit the user''s session ID along with it and have it

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

Does anybody know how to access the domain of a cookie from inside rails? I am try to integrate phpbb forums into my site and one of the things phpbb does is store a cookie. The forums are at forums.domain.com and the site is www.domain.com so i needed to set the cookie domain in phpbb to just be ".domain.com" so both sites can access it. The trouble is when using cookies[] in rails,

Hi all - I am trying to get rails to use memcache for sessions and fragment caching. I''d also like to use the same connection for general caching of this and that. I''m following the instructions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionStore and hitting a brick wall. I''m using the new memcache-client since from what I''ve read

Hey friends, I need a little assistance getting one of my applications running on OSX. I am able to install everything, and get my application running, but when I try to store an object in the session in one of my apps, the session object doesn''t get stored. I tried running webrick, and I tried running under lighttpd. I tried running a regular session store, and a mysql

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''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

Could someone please elaborate on the technical differences and practical impact of whether choosing memory-based tables in MySQL or using memcached. I got this far on my own: It seems that MySQL uses the NDB engine for transaction-safe memory access in a cluster. the memory storage engine seems to be faster but not synchronizable by any means in a cluster. memcached seems to be ultimately fast

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

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 all, Apologies in advance if I got this one wrong, I''m still just a newbie ;-) Going through the Apple ADC RoR tutorial it suddenly occurred to me that the ''number_to_currency()'' helper method was not DRY streamlined. Scenario:: The "number_to_currency()" methods options hash works great when I need to dynamically display different currencies when I

Hi I am looking for a functional light-weight wiki which has a wysiwyg front-end for a rails application. I have been trying wikiwyg for the front-end, but the proto subclassing is lost on me. Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger! Download today it''s FREE!

Hi I am not sure whether this is the appropriate forum to ask a newbie question about acts_as_taggable plugin. I have installed the plugin on the server and included it in my script as per readme. However, no tags are saved. Another question is, is it possible for the users to edit the tags they have created. ? Thanks

I have tried all night trying to find a way to get the host name which is currently being used within my routes.rb file to do some case/when switching for specific domains such as this cgi = ActionController::CgiRequest.new(CGI.new) case cgi.domain(1) when /www/ map.connect '''', :controller => ''public'', :action => ''index'' when

Is there a way to turn sessions off in Rails? Doesn''t appear to be. Also, is there any garbage collection for stale sessions? On those two topics, are there any problems with Rails handling those options? I ask because it seems like something that would have been included. If there is no technical reason why it wasn''t included, then I''ll create/submit a source
