How to display a message after logout (session deleted)

Rails
1

When a user logout, the session is deleted, so I can’t use a
flash[:notice] stating that the user has been disconnected (and more…)

in my _header.rhtml view
<%= link_to ‘Logout’, logout_path %>

in my route.rb
map.logout ‘logout’, :controller => ‘session’, :action => ‘destroy’

in my session_controller.rb
def destroy
session.delete
cookies.delete :login_token
flash[:notice] = “You have been disconnected”
redirect_to home_path
end

in my application.rhtml layout
<% if flash[:notice] -%>

<%= flash[:notice] %>
<% end %>

when a session is deleted, it’ clears all variables… I thought I could
write a flash[notice] to be displayed, but it seems not to be the
case… any clue ?

thanks

in my session_controller.rb
def destroy
session.delete
cookies.delete :login_token
flash[:notice] = “You have been disconnected”
redirect_to home_path
end

Can you set some new variable to be passed (make your own flash) - do
something like:

in my session_controller.rb
def destroy
session.delete
cookies.delete :login_token
flash[:notice] = “You have been disconnected”
@myflash = “You have been disconnected”

redirect_to home_path

end

But then you’d have to delete the @myflash variable once you
redirect_to_home_path

it should be a session variable…

in my session_controller.rb
def destroy
session.delete
cookies.delete :login_token
flash[:notice] = “You have been disconnected”
@myflash = “You have been disconnected”

redirect_to home_path

end

redirect_to_home_path

once I am redirected the @myflash variable doesn’t exist anymore (?) a
session variable will carry the message… but a flash[] is a session
variable too… and it’s = nil after redirected , don’t understand why
…

my exampel is not completly written from scratch… it’s taken from the
‘beast’ example, and it’s doesn’t run well too in this example… I am
not wrong alone …

too smart… rethinking a little bit => no need for session.delete only
cookie :login.token need to be deleted to avoid an auto login again…

thnaks !

you can simple type
reset_session
and all will be reseted as first time user was entered to site.
