Ruby-on-rails – Devise Custom Routes and Login Pages

devisepartialsroutingrubyruby-on-rails

I'm trying to get Custom Routes working in my Rails application (Ruby 1.9.2 with Rails 3).

This is my config/routes.rb file

match '/dashboard' => 'home#dashboard', :as => 'user_root'
devise_for :user do
   get "/login", :to => "devise/sessions#new" # Add a custom sign in route for user sign in
   get "/logout", :to => "devise/sessions#destroy" # Add a custom sing out route for user sign out
   get "/register", :to => "devise/registrations#new" # Add a Custom Route for Registrations
end

But submitting the form on /login or /register goes to users/sign_in
and users/sign_up. How do I prevent this from happening. Or even better make sure that by default all requests for users/sign_in etc go to the relevant routes and not the default routes generated by Devise.

Also how can I make the login form a partial to include it in any controller? So that I can have the Login Page on the homepage (home#index) and not on users/sign_in?

I'm using Devise 1.1.3 with Rails 3 on Ruby 1.9.2, on Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Thanks!

With Devise 1.1.3 the following should work

devise_for :user, :path => '', :path_names => { :sign_in => "login", :sign_out => "logout", :sign_up => "register" }

The routes it creates will not be appended with "/user/..." because of the :path parameter being an empty string. The :pathnames hash will take care of naming the routes as you like. Devise will use these routes internally so submitting to /login will work as you wish and not take you to /user/log_in

To add a login form to your front page there's info at the Devise Wiki: http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Display-a-custom-sign_in-form-anywhere-in-your-app

Or do something like this:

 <%= form_tag new_user_session_path do %>
  <%= text_field_tag 'user[email]' %>
  <%= password_field_tag 'user[password]' %>
 <%=  submit_tag 'Login' %>

Ruby-on-rails – Ruby/Rails: How to customize the mailer templates of Devise

I think you'll need to manage the Devise views yourself. Try the following in a console:

rails generate devise:views

This will generate all the views Devise uses (including mailer templates), which you can now customize.

The mailers you're looking for should then be in 'app/views/devise/mailer'

If you want to generate scoped views, or only a subset of them that is also possible. Per the documentation at https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-views:

You can also use the generator to generate scoped views:

rails generate devise:views users

If you would like to generate only a few sets of views, like the ones for the registerable and confirmable module, you can pass a list of modules to the generator with the -v flag.

rails generate devise:views -v registrations confirmations

Ruby-on-rails – How to change the login and signup urls in devise plugin Rails

Here are a little bit more options than you asked but it's clear:

  devise_for :users,
             :controllers => { :registrations => "users/registrations",
                               :confirmations => "users/confirmations",
                               :sessions => 'devise/sessions'},
             :skip => [:sessions] do
    get '/signin'   => "devise/sessions#new",       :as => :new_user_session
    post '/signin'  => 'devise/sessions#create',    :as => :user_session
    get '/signout'  => 'devise/sessions#destroy',   :as => :destroy_user_session
    get "/signup"   => "users/registrations#new",   :as => :new_user_registration
  end

Even more, with :registrations => "users/registrations" we can additionally customize redirects:

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected

  def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    welcome_path # it's not a home path
  end

  def after_update_path_for(resource)
    edit_user_registration_path
  end
end

Devise has a good wiki.
