I am creating anonymous guest users which are persistent during the
time they are connected to the site or until they sign up and become a
member user ...
this add a lot of anonymous user records in the DB and I wonder how to
purge them ? should I run a cron script regularly or is there another
way to do it ?
thanks for feedback
I have in my application_controller :
# if user is logged in, return current_user, else return guest_user
def current_or_guest_user
if current_user
if session[:guest_user_id]
logging_in
guest_user.destroy
session[:guest_user_id] = nil
end
current_user
else
guest_user
end
end
# find guest_user object associated with the current_session,
creating one if needed
def guest_user
User.find( session[:guest_user_id].nil? ? session[:guest_user_id]
= create_guest_user.id : session[:guest_user_id] )
end
def create_guest_user
u = User.new(email: "guest_#{Time.now.to_i}#{rand(99)}
@example.com")
u.confirmed_at = Time.now
u.save(:validate => false, :confirm => false)
u
end
