Authlogic and Sessions

rubyonrails-talk
#1

trying out Authlogic for the first time (joined the mail list but
apparently the first message is moderated and it's been hours)...

created db sessions but when I log in, no entry is added to sessions db

Maybe it's because my 'user' model is named 'member' and thus I
substituted /user/member/ and /User/Member/ but I wouldn't think so.

I can login and save passwords but cannot get value from
'current_member' or any session variables either.

Should I be creating a member_sessions table in the db or does the
standard Rails sessions table handle this function? I ask because it is
empty.

No, you do not need to create a model named member. User is sufficient.
But you have create user_session model a user_sessions controller.

Try doing exactly as said in this- http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example/

Let us know if you are facing problems still.

I found ryanb's railscast video helpful too: http://railscasts.com/episodes/160-authlogic

Hello.

Try adding this line to config/environment.rb in config block:

config.action_controller.session_store = :active_record_store

yes, this was needed. I think I expected that this was going to be added
automatically when I ran 'rake db:sessions:create' command but now at
least it is adding sessions to the sessions table.

my questions are still not coming out on the authlogic list...

Each link I touch on my web site creates an identical session record in
sessions table... (identical session_id and data columns)

and if I don't disable 'protect_from_forgery', I get
InvalidAuthenticityToken error upon login.

Perhaps this is caused by my using 'Member' instead of 'User' and
'MemberSessions' instead of 'UserSessions' throughout but I wouldn't
think so.

Something in my sessions is not working correctly

also, FTR... I found 'config.action_controller.session_store
= :active_record_store' commented out in
config/initializers/session_store.rb and uncommented that one and
commented out the added entry in config/environment.rb.
