Question

I am using devise and I have a root pointing home#index, now I want to override devise when a user register or login to redirect to project#show instead of the root(home#index). What method do I put in the overidden devise controller? Also do I have to add anything in the routes.rb?

Thank you in advance!

 class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController


  end

routes.rb

      Parks::Application.routes.draw do
      resources :home, :project
      devise_for :users
      root :to => "home#index"
      end 

available path

       show_project_path

I think the after_sign_in_path_for hook is what you’re looking for: http://rdoc.info/github/plataformatec/devise/master/Devise/Controllers/Helpers:after_sign_in_path_for

As you can see from the docs, you can define a route that will automatically be used (by the original implementation of the hook) or you can override it completely.
