Question

I have datetime column named lastlogin in my User table. How can I set (and update) this data when user loggined in?
I’m triyng something like this in my session controller:

def create
  user = User.find_by_email(params[:email])
  if user && user.authenticate(params[:password])
    session[:user_id] = user.id
    user.lastlogin = Time.now
    redirect_to root_url
  else
    render "new"
  end
end

user.lastlogin = Time.now not works 🙁

Answer 1

user.update_attribute(:lastlogin, Time.now)
