Question

I am newbie with Devise.

I have installed Devise.
Now I have:
1) model named User
2) some predefined templates in /views/devise/ folder

But I have discovered than there is no any controller for user actions. When I try to send the request *http://localhost:3000/users/sign_up* my application.html.erb is rendered, but I expect to get a user registration form.

Could anyone help me to understand?

Answer 1

From the devise intro

Configuring controllers

If the customization at the views level is not enough, you can customize each controller by following these steps:

1) Create your custom controller, for example a Admins::SessionsController:

class Admins::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
end

2) Tell the router to use this controller:

devise_for :admins, :controllers => { :sessions => "admins/sessions" }

3) And since we changed the controller, it won’t use the “devise/sessions” views, so remember to copy “devise/sessions” to “admin/sessions”.

Remember that Devise uses flash messages to let users know if sign in was successful or failed. Devise expects your application to call “flash[:notice]” and “flash[:alert]” as appropriate.

Hope it helps!
