I am using Devise for user registration, and am using Confirmable to perform email validation.
After a user registers, I want to redirect them to a URL explaining that they need to check their email and click on the link sent. I am using Devise's :authenticate_user! method to ensure users log in before seeing site content.
Per this file, it looks like I can define a after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource) and a after_sign_up_path_for(resource) to control this redirect.
Here is my application controller:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery
before_filter :authenticate_user!, :except => [:after_inactive_sign_up_path_for, :after_sign_up_path_for]
def after_sign_up_path_for(user)
confirm_path
end
def after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(user)
confirm_path
end
end
But it doesn't work. confirm_path is in my static_pages controller, which is accessible without signin as I have skip_before_filter :authenticate_user! included
When a user registers, the :authenticate_user! helper kicks in and redirects to the login page.
Have you tried overriding the registration controller like so :
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
protected
def after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
'/an/example/path'
end
end
