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

deviseruby-on-rails

I am using devise plugin in my new Rails App. My issue is devise plugin has default roots for login and signup

/users/sign_in
/users/sign_up

I need to change this to

/login 
/signup

For this I used the following routing

 devise_for :users do
   get "login", :to => "devise/sessions#new"
   get "signup", :to => "devise/registrations#new"
 end

With this I need to specify 'login_path' and 'signup_path' everywhere in my views where new_user_session_path and new_user_registration_path comes

What I want is a configuration in routes which maps '/login' and '/signup' to new_user_session_path and new_user_registration_path.

I have seen a post which route /users/sign_in and /users/sign_up to /sign_in and /sign_up using the below shown routing.

  devise_for :user, :as => ''

I need some routing technique like this which routes /users/sign_in and /users/sign_up to /login and /signup.

Could anyone please help me with this.

UPDATE: I have changed my routes.rb file to

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

But still when I use link_to 'new_user_registration' in my views its not showing as '/signup' in the browser

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.

For Rails 3.2 or Rails 4+

You should use request.original_url to get the current URL. Source code on current repo found here.

This method is documented at original_url method, but if you're curious, the implementation is:

def original_url
  base_url + original_fullpath
end

For Rails 3:

You can write "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}#{request.fullpath}", since request.url is now deprecated.

For Rails 2:

You can write request.url instead of request.request_uri. This combines the protocol (usually http://) with the host, and request_uri to give you the full address.

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

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' %>
