:remember_me option not saving with UserSession.new
Reported by c00lryguy | July 11th, 2009 @ 03:53 AM
View
- if current_user
%p= "Signed in as " << current_user.email << "!"
%p= current_user_session.remember_me?
- else
%h1 Login
%p
- form_for :login_info, :url => login_path do |f|
= f.label :email
= f.text_field :email
= f.label :password
= f.password_field :password
= f.submit "Submit"
= f.check_box :remember_me
= f.label :remember_me
Controller
class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :require_no_user, :only => :create
before_filter :require_user, :only => :destroy
def create
user_session = UserSession.new(params[:login_info])
if user_session.save
flash[:notice] = "Logged in!"
redirect_to home_path
else
flash[:error] = "Error: Login unsuccessful!"
redirect_to home_path
end
end
def destroy
current_user_session.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Logged out!"
redirect_to home_path
end
end
Problem
Now when I login with the option 'Remember me?' checked, Rails
passes:
Processing UserSessionsController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-07-11 03:39:15) [POST]
Parameters:
{"commit"=>"Submit", "action"=>"create", "controller"=>"user_sessions",
"login_info"=>{"password"=>"[FILTERED]", "remember_me"=>"1", "email"=>"c00lryguy@gmail.com"}}
But the View displays:
Signed in as c00lryguy@gmail.com!
false
No matter how hard I try I can't get the current_user_session to remember the remember_me option.

That's strange. The remember_me feature uses a cookie. Are you sure that cookies are properly being created? Try doing a simple test where you expire a cookie in the future, close your browser, and see if you can still retrieve that cookie. I can't tell you how many times people have an issue with authlogic when their cookies aren't working properly.
I'm using the remember_me function on a number of sites I manage and all are working great.
Hope this helps.

While logged with with the Remember me? option checked, I viewed my cookies in Firefox and there's nothing no 'remember_me' cookie. I see no reason why it wouldn't create the 'remember_me' cookie since it also creates session and user_credentials cookies.

Do you have some sort of example app using the remember_me option?

I'm having the same problem here but I can get the remember_me to be true on the current_user_session.
I don't have any remeber_me cookie created either.... will keep work on it...
Thanks -

I have a related problem that is puzzling me.
I decided to keep things simple and have every session 'remembered'. I added a line to my UserSession model:
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
remember_me true endThis works great in development, but doesn't seem to work in production. I see the cookie, but it is set to expire at the end of the browser session.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Sorry, the code snipped there is:
@@@ class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base remember_me true end @@@

I messed around for a bit. Looks like unpacking the gem fixed the problem. My host has authlogic installed, looks like the same version, so I don't know exactly what happened. But it's working for me now.
Thanks for the plugin, cool stuff.
