Question

I am using Devise 1.5.3.

I inherited Devise::RegistrationsController for customizing my own path for after_update:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
   protected
   def after_update_path_for(resource)
     some_path
   end 
end

After that Rails tries to find views for registration actions (new, create, etc) in views/registrations/ but no in /views/devise/registrations

Sure, I can copy all from /views/devise/registrations to views/registrations/. But it’s not suitable for me, because rest of my view (for not customized controllers) still are in /views/devise/registrations.

How Can I fix it?

Answer 1

I think it should work if you scope your RegistrationsController into Devise’s scope:

class Devise::MyRegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  # ...
end

Of course you can’t use the same name for the RegistrationsController and you have rename the views/devise/registrations folder to views/devise/my_registrations and you have to update your routes.rb file as well… but with this setup it should work…

Another option, I think, would be to overwrite/inject the method in an initializer:

class Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected
  def after_update_path_for(resource)
    some_path
  end 
end

which may be simpler…
