similar to: Session access interfers with other model access

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

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

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

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

I need to effectively log a user out if their session is inactive for more than a short period of time, like 5 minutes. I need some help understanding how to approach session expiration and cleanup in Rails. When the user explicitly logs out of my app, I delete all the data they''ve entered/that''s been created during their session. The data includes files, database records, and

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

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".

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

CentOS team... as is already bug reported and marked solved... as we await the upstream repair for this. It was reported that this was happening on CentOS 5. You likely already know, but it also happens on CentOS 4. For those unaware. It seems that SquirrelMail has an issue which allows mail to be sent out from one user on the system and it uses the from address of another user on the

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

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

I thought I understood how to grab the session id but in the following code I am getting null for the session id: @foo = Foo.new(:session_id => session[:session_id], :test_id => @test.id) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have an old table that handles sessions. the primary key is a field called session_id and is the actual session id like "8df838303ufdfu838" however when i do the following in the model: set_primary_key "session_id" and the following in the controller: @session_hash = { "session_id" => @session.session_id, "session_user_id" =>

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

My authentication (signup/login) is up and running in my app, now I need to implement an authorisation system. Its not going to be a complex one. One admin (me) and then normal members and premium members. Any tutorials or tips on a simple way to get this running? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m having an issue with ARsessions... I have a rails app AND a merb app both under the same domain... I have redirects working for this to be seamless... however, the session started on merb is different than the session started in the rails app... like so.. http://pastie.caboo.se/private/r1ar42qiaekrqjdt6y Any ideas why? The only difference I see, but dunno where to change this, is

I have a simple Rails app that I am close to deploying on our intranet. The security model is "either you are an admin or your are not," with the method of implementing this model being done by the login_generator 1.1.0. There is one account set up, ''admin'', with three of us having the ability to logon with this username (i.e. we know the password). I am looking to

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
