Question

I just added active admin to my rails app and I’m unable to create a new user. I am using the user model that active admin creates with a few added columns like first and last name. When I fill out the form for a new user and click create new user, that page refreshes but doesn’t save my user and doesn’t go to the recap page with the successful message.

here is my AdminUser model

class AdminUser < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :first_name, :last_name

end

And here is my active admin class

ActiveAdmin.register AdminUser do
  index do
    column :first_name
    column :last_name
    column :email

    default_actions
  end

 form do |f|
   f.inputs "User Details" do
     f.inputs :email
     f.inputs :first_name
     f.inputs :last_name
   end
  f.buttons
 end
end

Forgot to add this little guy to the model…fml

after_create { |admin| admin.send_reset_password_instructions }

def password_required?
  new_record? ? false : super
end
