Question

I’m still not understanding how to route to a users profile page after successful sign in with devise. I’ve read the other questions, googled, and gone through the devise docs and I still can’t get it to work/understand.

In my routes

  get '/:id', to: 'profiles#show'

I just want that page (with the users id myapp.com/profilename) to be the page users are redirected to when they sign in. I thought it would be an quick fix but, I’ve spent an excessive amount of time on this problem.

Thanks.

You can use devise route helpers:

authenticated :user do
  root :to => "profiles#show"
end

You would then use current_user instead of the params[:id] to figure out which profile to display.
