AuthLogic perishable_token resets on every request
- by go minimal
In my User model I have:
acts_as_authentic do |c|
c.perishable_token_valid_for = 30.minutes
end
In my Application Controller I have the standard boilerplate code:
def current_user_session
return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session)
@current_user_session = UserSession.find
end
def current_user
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
@current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.record
end
Now in my view I need to see if a user is logged in:
<% if current_user %>
Sign Out
<% else %>
Sign In
<% end %>
On every single request, current_user is being called, and that causes a SELECT call to be made to the database to find the user, then an UPDATE call that updates the last_request_at and perishable_token even though I set perishable_token_valid_for = 30.minutes.
Does anyone have a better way to see if a user is logged in without causing a SELECT and UPDATE on every single page of my app.
Does anyone know why the perishable token keeps updating even if I set it to be valid for 30 minutes???
