Hi       I am new to using authlogic . My requirement is in Login page I have a check box which says "Keep me logged in for 2 weeks" . But I dont know how to implement this. I have just seen remember_me_for in the doc. But did not understand how to use it. Could anyone please give an example to use this?

Thanks in advance Tom

it’s ‘remember_me’.

You’ve have to create a checkbox for this value:

in your erb:

<% form_for @user_session do |f| %> <% f.checkbox :remember_me, “Remember me” %> <% end %>

Hi     Thanks for the reply. What you said is right And from the doc what I understood is it sets remember_me default as 3.months. But how can we modify that? That is my question. What I need is when user check remember_me check box from view time should be set to 2 weeks (say 2 minutes as an example) I tried like

class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base   remember_me_for 2.minutes end

    But this did not work. Even after 2 minutes user session persisted

class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base

def remember_me_for 2.minutes

end

end

Next, I would recommend looking at your cookies to verify that session cookie is properly created and expired.

Good luck,
