How to detect session restart (remembered sessions)?

[RangerRick]

Hi,

I'm in need of detecting when a persisted session is restarted, so I
can handle some application-specific things.

Is there a standard way to detect "session restart" w/ AuthLogic?

Many thanks.

Let me rephrase. I need to redirect to a specific page after
AuthLogic automatically logs in using its persistent cookie
login.

Currently, the browser is caching my page and I need to force
a page refresh to ensure the page is showing fresh data upon
session restore.

Anyone?

I'm interested in this answer as well. For my app, users get
reputation points when they login, but it doesn't work if they use
remember me. I use the UserSession after_save callback to track
username/password logins, but how do I detect that the user came back
in using the persisted cookie?

Hey,

I'm working on this as well,

Currently I'm able to detect if a session is persisted by cookie:

module Authlogic

module Session

module Cookies

module InstanceMethods

private

def persist_by_cookie_with_login_count
if persist_by_cookie_without_login_count
Rails.logger.debug "### Persisted via cookie"
else
Rails.logger.debug "### Did not persisted via cookie"
end
end

alias_method_chain :persist_by_cookie, :login_count

end

end

end
end

Problem is that persisting via cookie is done before persisting via
session, so it is always persisting via cookie if it's available.
I'm now trying to figure out how to change that order without
modifying the gem.

This is how i changed the order of persistence via an initialiser.

persistance_chain = Authlogic::Session::Base.persist_callback_chain

persistance_chain_methods = persistance_chain.collect(&:method)

if persistance_chain_methods.index(:persist_by_cookie) <
persistance_chain_methods.index(:persist_by_session)
a = persistance_chain_methods.index(:persist_by_cookie)
b = persistance_chain_methods.index(:persist_by_session)

#
# We can do this, because we get a reference to the array, not a dup
#

persistance_chain[a], persistance_chain[b] = persistance_chain[b],
persistance_chain[a]

end
