I have a popup that will only allow to view/save some information if the user is authenticated.
I am using devise.
In the controller before_filter it checks if user is signed in and if not, show a sign in page.
This sign in page is ripped down version of the site's sign in page, so that it fits nicely to the popup.
On the authenticate action I call authenticate_user!. Everything works fine when the user enters valid credentials. But when the credential is invalid, devise automatically redirects to site's sign in page (which as I stated is different and not fit for a popup)
I tried appending a rescue to the call, but to no avail.
Anyone could suggest a better/right way to do this please? :)
def authenticate
authenticate_user! rescue redirect_to "/popup/sign_in"
if user_signed_in?
respond_to do |format|
format.html {
flash[:notice] = I18n.t("logged_in_succesfully")
redirect_back_or_default(accounts_path)
}
else
flash[:error] = I18n.t("devise.failure.invalid")
render "/popup/sign_in"
end
end
