Question

so I have been looking for this answer and the devise docs kind of have an answer to customizing sign in and sign out but its not quite what I was looking for and I have tried it only to fail. Basically, I would like to incorporate the sign up form fields for a new user in my app on the home page or root_path.

I tried copying and pasting, which didnt work cause the resources are needed, I tried changing the routes to the route path root :to => “devise/registrations#new” and that didnt work, so then I looked up the customization of sign in and out and changed the scope to get “/”, => “devise/registrations#new” which also didn’t work.

Is there an easier way to do this? Or am I just missing something along the way?

Answer 1

The following should work:

devise_scope :user do
  get "/", :to => "devise/registrations#new"
end

Make sure that you have “/” matched to something, though, and obviously run rake routes.

EDIT: You can also run rails g devise:views which will give you all of the devise views in your views folder. Then in your home page, you can render 'devise/reg_form' (or whatever the registration view is called).
