I'm trying to redirect the user if their account hasn't been confirmed. So this involves two parts of the code:
- Redirect the user after they first create the account
- Redirect them if they try to sign in before confirming the account
I need help with the second.
The first I was able to do by putting in after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
in my custom RegistrationsController. I've tried to do the same for a SessionsController, but it didn't work. What do I need to over write in order to properly redirect the user if they haven't confirmed the account yet?
You may have to create a custom warden strategy and check if the account needs confirmation. Something of this sorts:
# config/initializers/my_strategy.rb
Warden::Strategies.add(:my_strategy) do
def valid?
true
end
def authenticate!
u = User.find_for_authentication(:email => params[:email])
if u.nil? || !u.valid_password?(params[:password])
fail(:invalid)
elsif !u.confirmed?
fail!("Account needs confirmation.")
redirect!("your_root_url")
end
else
success!(u)
end
end
#config/initializers/devise.rb
config.warden do |manager|
manager.default_strategies(:scope => :user).unshift :my_strategy
end
This assumes the username and password are passed in the request as params. You can look at the database_authenticable strategy for an example of how Devise deals with sign-in authentication by default.
