Hi, I am a newb.
Lets say I have url ABC Home Page - ABC.com. What I need to do is save the
param in the session file but still have it available to other
controllers. I can get it to work within one controller with:
session[:animal] = param[:animal]
but I cannot get it to save and be used by other controllers. I can
hack it by adding:
session[:animal] = “cat”
in the application.rb and adding a before filter to the controller.
How do I add a param from a url in a session to be used by all
controllers?
Thanks!

There’s no reason that shouldn’t work. If there’s something you’re
doing wrong you haven’t shown us that bit yet.

So sessions are not cleared out controller to controller? I found
another way (prob. a better way), I am using the redirect_to to pass
the variable. The funny thing about problems is that you need to know
what the question is before you can solve it I guess… Thanks!

Nope. would rather defeat the point of the session

That sounds like a sane way to do it.
