similar to: Why can''t I changed the _session_id cookie?

Hi, Suppose I have a resource such as http://localhost:3000/topsecret/data that requires the user to login first. What I did was make use of before_filter to check and see if the session variable is set with the logged in user''s id (similar to the example in "Agile Web Development with Rails"). However while the filtering function does work correctly in redirecting the

Hi, I have a question today regarding how the various form elements in _form.rhtml are named. I understand that for a database table "persons" with a column headed by "name", then in _form.rhtml it will probably be like: <p><label for="person_name">Name><br/> <%= text_field ''person'', ''name''

Hi guys, I have been working on a form that would use javascript to validate the data before submitting it, and from my view.rhtml I have a statement like this: However such a statement generates a HTML tag that looks like this: <form action="/users/Login?onSubmit=validate%28%29" method="post"> Seems like Rails thinks it is a parameter instead of an option, so

hello, I am trying to implement a "remember be" box for logins, however I cant seem to get it to work. I have tried the following 2 methods but neither seem to work. When i check the expiry time in firefox it always says "end of session". What is the proper way to handle this so the session cookie "_session_id" doesnt expire for a year? I tried

Hi, I''ve been trying to work out a model (let''s say a StudentRecord) which has a number of attributes, and the key thing I''m trying to do here is to implement it such that you can actually view modifications made over time by various users (think of it as a wikipedia style of logging). Is there some provision in rails that''d provide this functionality for

In the initial version of my application I am just going to require cookies - down the road _considering_ changing that and providing something that works without. Anyway, this is somewhat of a two part question 1. Does this approach make sense or is there a better way typically used? Just have a before_filter in my application.rb to verify that the :_session_id cookie is present. If it

Hi, This is one problem that has gotten me stumped for quite a while. I have an Item that has_many :DeliveryMethod, and what I seek to achieve is to create a form that''d let me create an Item, as well as its DeliveryMethods in 1 single form. And so I tried something like: <%= text_field_tag ''Item[DeliveryMethod][price]'', @Item.DeliveryMethod ?

Hello RoR folks, I am using Instant Rails and a small app that currently uses scaffolding for CRUD on just one table with 7 attributes. I am not shure wether scaffolding slows down the app that much but I have a time lag for every request with above 4 sec. The preinstalled apps like Type are running damn fast, which is not the case for my stuff. Any help on this would be great Thanks, RTG --

Hi, I''ve implemented a log in session "thing" that essentially works by holding the model of the logged in user in a session variable, like this: session[:user] = user However let''s say at this point in time, should an administrator of the system decide to revoke this user''s account, the session variable for that currently logged in user is still valid,

I''ve tried to have 2 methods of the same name (but with different parameter signatures) and it always seems like the later declaration tends to win out, does this mean that ruby does not support overloading? If so what aboutt the .new method? You can either call it as .new (with nothing) or .new(hash variable). Is it possible to override a specific instance of the zero parameter

I''ve been digging into rails, but this one question has been a two day stumper. I''ve got a question/answer model that I''m trying to work out. Each question has multiple answers (they''re more like choices, it doesn''t matter whether they''re right or wrong), and I''d like to have the question creation form also have multiple fields in

Hi, I recently switched to the cookie session store for my rails app, and I am wondering how I can access some kind of unique identifier for each session between requests. It used to be (when I was using active record store) that the session id was set and that string didn''t change between requests. Now, of course, the session id does change between requests because that is where the

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

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. When the view changes from ''Store'' to ''display_cart,'' a session containing the shopping-cart (:cart) is supposed maintain the ''cart'' between calls, but when the display_cart stub view shows up, I have always ZERO elements

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

Hi All, I''m experiencing a problem when using pound with Rails. My set up is I have a machine acting as a load balancer running Pound. This listens on port 80 and directs requests with a particular URL to two backend servers both of which are serving my rails app using mongrel cluster on ports 9000,9001 and 9002. There is a problem with sessions even though I am storing the session data

Hi, I''m trying to make a simple shopping cart, where I want to maintain state when a use logs in from different location. Consider the following : 1. ''foo'' logs in from home pc and add ''bar'' item to the cart. 2. ''foo'' goes to office and logs in from office PC. 3. Now I want only one session for ''foo'', so that when

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

Many of you probably know the ''depot'' app from the ''Agile Rails development'' book. I have constructed the ''products'' model, the Store-controller, and the ''Cart'' and ''Line Item'' classes. I have told Application-controller about :cart and :line_item: model :cart model :line_item Here''s part of
