Question

I am using rails3 and gem devise and i have two roles admin and customer and i want after user

sign out admin should redirect to different path and customer should redirect to different path

when sign out..

Answer 1

You can get your desired functionality by using devise method after sign_out path.

but before you define these methods in application helper.

def is_admin?(user)
  admin_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ?", "admin"])
  return user.roles.include?(admin_role)
end


def is_customer?(user)
  admin_role = Role.find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ?", "customer"])
  return user.roles.include?(admin_role)
end

After that include application helper in application controller and define this method

def after_sign_out_path_for(resource_or_scope)
  if is_admin?(current_user)
    home_path = "/admin/users/sign_in"
  elsif is_customer?(current_user)
    home_path = "/customer"
  end
    respond_to?(home_path, true) ? send(root_path) : home_path

end

Hope it will work fine !!!
