Store their IP address and a timestamp and then don't count more views from that same IP for a while. For the IP address use request.env[ 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' ] if your Rails app is behind a proxy, or request.env[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ] if it's not. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
