Question

I am using devise for registration of new users. Users have an attribute, account_type, and I would like to give them the option to select their account type from a drop down menu on the registration page. Which method would be good to use here and how would I set it up?

Answer 1

1. Run rails generate devise:views or rails generate devise:views users to generate views for further customization
2. Add the account_type to the registrations form in devise/registrations/new.html.erb or users/registrations/new.html.erb depending how you generated
3. Add account_type to attr_accessible to allow it for mass assignment attr_accessible :account_type

Users should now be able to select their account_type.
