Automatically Expiring Sessions in Rails
SessionExpiration is plugin that allows you to expire sessions after X seconds of
inactivity. Useful for when you want to automatically log out users if they’re idle.
Trac: http://trac.intridea.com/trac/public
Subversion repository: http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/session_expiration/
Installation:
script/plugin install http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/session_expiration
OR
cd vendor/pluginssvn co http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/session_expiration
Specify when to expire session in your ApplicationController to do it site wide or you can do it for specific controllers:
class ApplicationController expire_session_in 5.minutesend
If you want to run a method when the session expires use this:
class ApplicationController expire_session_in 5.minutes, :after_expiration => :some_method def some_method flash[:notice] = "You have been logged out due to inactivity" endend
