Question

I’m struggling with getting devise to redirect to a user’s profile page after signin. My routes file looks like this:

get "profiles/index"

get "users/index"

get "users/show"

authenticated :user do
 root :to => 'home#index'
end
root :to => "home#index"
devise_for :users
resources :users
scope ":username", :as => "user" do
 match '/', :to => 'profiles#index'
end

I would like it to redirect to /myusername which the user’s profile page. Thanks for your guys’ help.

If you want to change the sign in redirect you can override the after_sign_in_path_for method by adding a new SessionsController as so:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController  

  #after_sign_in_path_for is called by devise
  def after_sign_in_path_for(user)
   "/users/#{user.username}" #adjust the returned path as needed
  end  

end

As Ashikata mentioned you need to change the devise routing to the following if you’re changing the session controller.

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :sessions => 'sessions' }

Alternatively, adding that modified after_sign_in_path_for method to your application controller should do the trick.
