Question

My app is set up so that if a user signs in with Oauth or Openid, they don’t have to confirm their email address. However, Devise is still sending email confirmations. When I call User.skip_confirmation! I get an undefined method error. My model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, 
  :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable, :lockable, :token_authenticatable, :omniauthable

  attr_accessible :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
  validates_presence_of :username
  validates_uniqueness_of :username, :case_sensitive => false

  def self.find_for_facebook_oauth(access_token, signed_in_resource=nil)
    data = access_token.extra.raw_info
    if user = User.where(:email => data.email).first
      user
    else 
      #User.skip_confirmation!
      User.create!(:username => data.name, :email => data.email, :password =>    Devise.friendly_token[0,20]) 
    end
  end

  def skip_confirmation!
   self.confirmed_at = Time.now
 end
end

My Controller:

class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
  def facebook
    @user = User.find_for_facebook_oauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"], current_user)
    @user.skip_confirmation!
    if @user.persisted?
      sign_in @user
      @fname = @user.username
      redirect_to root_path, :flash => { :success => "Welcome #{@fname}!" }
    else
      session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
      redirect_to new_user_registration_url
    end
  end
end

thanks for any help.

You need to skip confirmation before you create the User objects and its persisted to the database. So the user creation part of your method would look like

user = User.new(:username => data.name, :email => data.email, :password =>    Devise.friendly_token[0,20])
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save
