I am working on rails 4 and setup devise_invitable gem recently. I have a Student and Teachers models in which Student get invited by Teacher means Teacher is Inviter and Student is Invitee.
I have added all necessary columns in students table like this:
t.string "invitation_token"
t.datetime "invitation_created_at"
t.datetime "invitation_sent_at"
t.datetime "invitation_accepted_at"
t.integer "invitation_limit"
t.integer "invited_by_id"
t.string "invited_by_type"
t.integer "invitations_count", default: 0
I login through Teachers account and now want to invite a student, when I click on link to invite a student then it goes to path: "/students/invitation/new" and request me to login as a student which does't make sense because I want to invite student then why do I need to login as student even Teacher session is already there and it should use teacher object to invite student.
I even try below code but it does't work:
class Teacher < ActiveRecord::Base
include DeviseInvitable::Inviter
end
Here are my routes:

Thanking you in anticipation.
Override authenticate_inviter method of gem in Application Controller:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protected
def authenticate_inviter!
authenticate_teacher!(:force => true)
end
end
And include DeviseInvitable::Inviter module into Teacher model:
class Teacher < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :database_authenticatable, :validatable
include DeviseInvitable::Inviter
end
You can define association in model by which you want that all invitations should be sent by this:
class Teacher < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :invitations, :class_name => self.to_s, :as => :invited_by
end
