Hi There,
I am setting a session, whilst following the rails-space tutorial.
When i hit register, I can see there is a new row inserted to the
sessions table, but now - for some reason, I don’t get the flash
message as before:
My user controller looks like this:
def register
@title = “Register”
if request.post? and params[:user]
@user = User.new(params[:user])
if @user.save
session[:user_id] = @user.id
flash[:notice] = “User ‘#{@user.screen_name}’ created!”
redirect_to :action => “index”, :controller => “user”
end
My application.rhtml page now has ’ <%= debug(session) %> ’ added to
the page to view the session on the web page
I’ve added
‘‘config.action_controller.session_store= :active_record_store’’ to
the environment.rb page.
After a quick google earlier, I kept getting an invalid token error,
so i read that adding ''protect_from_forgery :only =>
[:create, :update, :destroy] ‘’ to the user controller page resolves
it. Which it did. I no longer get that error.
However - I have added the code as the book suggests. The user is
still successfully added to the site, and visible in the database, but
the flash message does not get displayed.
(if i delete this code, I can see the flash message again)
Any ideas??
Many Thanks!
