Warden Callbacks - multiple hits

[paulo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the Warden:Callbacks to work on a an app, so that
all user logins are recorded in a 'user_login' table, recording the
user_id, ip address and if they have logged in or out (1 or 0).

The code I have so far, in the user model is:

Warden::Manager.after_authentication do |user,auth,opts|

store=UserLogin.new(:user_id=>user.id, :ip_address=>"123.456.789.0", :login_type=>1)
store.save
end
Warden::Manager.before_logout do |user,auth,opts|

store=UserLogin.new(:user_id=>user.id, :ip_address=>"123.456.789.0", :login_type=>0)
store.save
end


This records the information as required, but multiple rows (varies
from 2 to 11 rows per login / logout).

Am I correct in having these callbacks in the user model? I suspect
this may be where I am going wrong with it?


Help much appreciated as always,

Paul

These callbacks should be initialized once and just once, so a better place to put them is config/initializers.

Thanks for that Carlos,

I suspected that was going to be the way to do it but it seems to
complicate matters when getting the IP address

You'd get the ip address from the request, that should be available through the warden object.

    auth.request.remote_ip (or sth like that)

Take a look at warden docs for more info.

Again, that worked a treat.

Thanks Carols
