Question

I’m using the Devise gem and I just would like to show a successful message when someone ask for a new password (if forgotten). Currently, when submitted, the button redirects to sign_in without any message.

Thank you

Rather than using the flash and trying to work out how Devise does it’s thing (not for the faint-hearted) by extending its controllers, how about checking the referrer, and displaying a message in the view if it matches your ‘remind me of my password’ path?

In the view:

<% if request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] == "/give/me/a/new/password" %>
  <h2>Your password stuff is all good now.</h2>
<% end %>
