similar to: session cookie expiration

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

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

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

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, 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 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

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''

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, 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'']

Hi there Rails buddies ! After some weeks working with Rails and having it running on different platforms, I definitively find the documentation not enough precise. But those are my thoughts and I hope somebody can point my out to the good way to find something. For example, I currently look for information about session managment, and find the code :

I''m trying to set the cookie expiration in my environment.rb file but I keep getting a syntax error on WeBRICK startup. I''m trying both of the ways listed in http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionOptions. FYI I''m new to rails so this is probably easy. 1) ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_expires] = Time.local(2008,"jan"))

Hi We have a rails application deployed and working fine. Along with this, we are planning to add "Opinion" forum. The url of the forum will be like http://forum.mymainsite.com Is it possible to share the session (that is, if the user is already logged in on the main site, he need not log in again on the forum section). Is it possible to add the ''opinion'' as a

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and web development. I just bought up the Agile book and I''ve got a question about the :session_expires option. In the book, page 317, it says the :session_expires "option should probably not be used." Does anyone know why? The book doesn''t explain or give any indication as to why. In an application I''m working on

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

I''m really lost on this issue. Do I need to reinstall rails / gems? The rest of my rails setup seems to be working. I just can''t run dispatch.fcgi. (Details in original message below). I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I''m not even positive it is supposed to be runnable from the command line. I found a troubleshooting guide that implied it was supposed to

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

Hi, I have Apache (2.2) setup to proxy requests through to Mongrel (0.3.12.4) for a Rails (1.1.2) application (on ruby 1.8.4). The setup is great, but I''m experiencing some nightly failures. I thought I''d post here before digging in too deeply, but it looks like Rails is going into lala land and Mongrel can''t recover... Seems like everything gets all backed up in

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,
