I've read & attempted the solutions posted in numerous SO posts (i.e. here, here, and here) as well as Devise's answer on how to change the path after a failed registration, and Devise's RegistrationsController code, all to no avail.
Instead of doing the custom failure method in the /lib/
folder like most suggest, It seems like the easiest place to fix/override this would be in the RegistrationsController#create
method at the bottom where it's:
else
clean_up_passwords resource
respond_with resource
end
It's (I assume) correctly responding with the user
(i.e. redirecting them to root_path/users
), but here's the tricky part: I create a nested model when my user registers, and that was quite difficult hacking into Devise for that. I'm afraid that if I go messing with the RegistrationsController#create
method, that I'll break my perfectly-working nested models.
Someone also mentioned that the Devise solution didn't work for them, but then got it to work after changing a routing problem. I doubt that's the case with me, but here's my routes.rb
file just in case:
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }
resources :users
resources :users do
resources :lockers
end
resources :lockers do
resources :products
end
resources :products
resources :lockups
match '/user/:id', :to => 'users#show', :as => :user
root :to => 'home#index'
I completely appreciate any help anyone can provide me. I'm still pretty new to Rails, but I'm always happy to learn.
EDIT: Thanks to Passionate, I've been trying to figure out how to change the logic in the final else
block in the registrations controller. Here's what I've tried (along with my noob logic):
# Obviously cleared all the fields since it made no mention of resource
# redirect_to root_path
# Too many arguments since root_path takes 0
# redirect_to root_path resource
# Just bombed, something about a String somethingorother
# render root_path
# Heh, apparently call 'respond_with' and 'redirect_to' multiple times in one action
# respond_with resource
# redirect_to root_path
