I know i can do dynamic session timeout (per user) with devise like described here
This worked fine before but now i'm using rails session store and it doesn't work anymore.
I googled quite a long time but didn't find an answer, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
I've done it now with some before_filters:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :update_session, :check_if_session_is_valid
...
def check_if_session_is_valid
session_timeout = current_user.try(:session_timeout) || 1800
if session[:timestamp] <= session_timeout.seconds.ago.to_i
session[:user_id] = nil
end
end
def update_session
session[:timestamp] = Time.now.to_i
end
And in the controller which is used by the poller i added this (the session shouldn't get updated by the poller):
skip_before_filter :update_session, :only => :get_new
