I have created user login's that work with sessions. I am trying to
make a timed logout, so that when the user is idle for a minute, they
are logged out. If their login time's out, they should be redirected
to controller Headline and action Index. In my application.rhtml I
periodically call a function in application controller called
session_expiry... i do that like this:
<%= periodically_call_remote :frequency => 10, :update => "all", :url
=> { :controller => "application", :action => "session_expiry"} %>
here is the function in application controller
def session_expiry
@time_left = (session[:expires_at] - Time.now).to_i
unless @time_left > 0
reset_session
render_component :controller => "headline", :action => "index"
end
end
The PROBLEM:
When the session ISN'T timed out, then session_expiry doesn't render
anything, and doesn't have session_expiry.rhtml - this throws an
error. I want session_expiry to not render anything when the user
isn't timed out, so that they stay on the page they were on. How do
I accomplish this?
