Session expire

Hi all,

I have set a session session to expire after an hour by doing:
session[:expire] = { :expires => 1.hour.from_now }
What I would like to do is have it so that session gets reset back an
hour whenever a new page is loaded. If, however, the session variable
has expired and the user tries to load a page I want my app to kick them
back to a loggin page. I have tried to achieve this by saying:

if !(session[:expire].blank? < 0.hour.from_now)
session[:expire] = { :expires => 0.25.hour.from_now }
end

However, it doesn’t like the session[:expire]. It gives me:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

even though I am saying if session is blank. Is there another way to do
this. Thanks,

Have a look at the sliding_session_timeout plugin:

application…It will work the same way u want… no need to do necoding
