Question

I am working with OmniAuth to use Facebook Connect in my Devise based rails app. One of the routes it creates is:

user_omniauth_callback /users/auth/:action/callback(.:format) {:action=>/facebook/, :controller=>"devise/omniauth_callbacks"}


I’d like to modify this route to a custom URL. Where would be the right place to do that?

the problem is by default, the route it creates is http://foo/users/auth/:action/callback.format. I want to have something more custom like http://foo/prefix_path/users/auth/:action/callback.format. I tried making my routes file look like the following:

  scope "/mypath" do
    devise_for :users, :controllers => { :omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks" }
  end

but it still generates the wrong route:

user_omniauth_callback /users/auth/:action/callback(.:format) {:action=>/facebook/, :controller=>"users/omniauth_callbacks"}


Answer 1

I’m not exactly sure what you are asking, I assume you want to have your own custom code for the callback.

You can extend the devise controller such as:

class MyOmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController

  def facebook
     #Custom Code here
  end

end

Then you can register this new controller in your routes.rb

devise_for :users, :controllers => {:omniauth_callbacks => "my_omniauth_callbacks"}

EDIT:

devise can also take a ‘path’ option in the devise_for so changing the route:

devise_for :users, :controllers => {:omniauth_callbacks => "my_omniauth_callbacks"}, :path => "path_prefix/users"
