I have a rails 4 application using devise. I'm trying to allow users to have a username associated with them.
I've added a username (string) column to the Users table, and had my Application controller look like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email) }
end
end
and I've also added a field for the username on the users/sign_up page.
But I get this error:
undefined local variable or method `devise_parameter_sanitizer' for #<Devise::RegistrationsController:0x00000101378a28>
So basically my question is why is this error appearing, or how else can I get a user to get a username?
Thanks for all help!
You're only permitting the username to be allowed on the sign in method, but I'm assuming when you create a new user, it's on the sign up method. So try this:
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation) }
end

I'm trying to display a simple welcome message to the user when they log in such as, "Welcome, Anthony!".
I created first_name and last_name attributes on the sign up and migrated them to the devise Users table and permitted the new attributes through the ApplicationController with this code,
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username, :first_name, :last_name])
end
end
This works perfectly fine, however, I want to display the first_name in my navbar in the application.html.erb file, which acts as a welcome message to the user once theyve signed in.
How do I display info from the Devise Users table?
Thanks,
Ant.
(If I need to add anything else then just let me know!)
Once you logged in you should be able to access a current_user object, from which you can get first_name and display in the welcome message in the application layout.
I am working with Rails 5
I aded new field username in model User.
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters

def configure_permitted_parameters

end
end
During registration is displayed error: undefined method `for' for # Did you mean? fork

Who can help? How solve this problem?
According to the documentation:
The Parameter Sanitaizer API has changed for Devise 4
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username])
end
end
If you just change the .for to .permit it works as well. For example:
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit({ roles: [] }, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :username) }
It works in both Rails 4.2.x and Rails 5.0.x
Don't forget devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:username])
I think you missed account_update in your controller's configure_permitted_parameters method, you need to follow the devise pattern. Devise has a an account update page. You can find this in views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb, and your code is also not going to work in the sign_up page, here you specified sign_up page
To update your user table, the minute you submit an update in your users/edit, or if you are submitting a username in the sign_up page you need to follow this devise pattern, to update the database User table. Even if you added a new column to the user table, you would have to add it to the configure_permitted_parameters method. In your case it's username, but you missed account_update as well. You're basically saying that you want to update the username or add the string to username field without following the Devise pattern. Any field you add to the User table should follow this Devise pattern. Also you can specify which page is permitted to update this username. In my example below, i'm using the devise update page. So like I said, even if you added a custom field name to Users table you need to follow this pattern. If you have another page where you need to add username, you would just do the same thing.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username])
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:username])
end
end
Next make sure in your user.rb you have validate username in your User model.
class User < ApplicationRecord
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable
validates :username, presence: true
end
To update your user table, the minute you submit an update in your users/edit, or if you are submitting a username in the sign_up page you need to follow this devise pattern, to update the database User table. Even if you added a new column to the user table, you would have to add it to the configure_permitted_parameters method. In your case it's username, but you missed account_update as well. You're basically saying that you want to update the username or add the string to username field without following the Devise pattern. Any field you add to the User table should follow this Devise pattern. Also you can specify which page is permitted to update this username. In my example below, i'm using the devise update page. So like I said, even if you added
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_paramters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_paramters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:fullname])
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:fullname,
:phone_number, :description, :email, :password])
end
end
Well, to contextualize a bit, I want devise acts just like always, the only difference being that when a user sign up, he have to put a name (and it doesn't have to be blank)
What I have achieved is that when the user sign up he can put a name, the problem is that he can leave it blank and his name will be equal to "".
I did this with some help of what appears on this page, ie creating a migration to add the name column to the users table and putting the following in the application controller.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
# Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
# For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password) }
end
end
But what is explained there later is not exactly what I want to do, I want the user to always sign in with his email (as devise already does by default), as I said, the only thing I wish is that if anyone wants to sign up, he have to type some name, being this not blank.
Does anyone know how can I do it?
what you need to do is to add validation for name to the user model. Validate the presence of name on a user
So, in your user model:
validates_presence_of :name
with this, when a user submits a registration form with blank name, this validation will kick in, and prevent this user instance from being saved, while adding the "name can't be blank" error to the form.
i am new to rails and any advise and help will be much appreciated.
I am currently using devise confirmable
When a user signs up for the first time they get:
Re-directed to the application root at localhost:3000
Flash notice saying "A message with a confirmation link has been sent to your email address. Please open the link to activate your account."
So far so good.
I am trying to redirect the user to a different page when they signup
but unsure how - any advise would be much appreciated
application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
# For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def after_sign_in_path_for(resources)
if userr_signed_in?
dashboard_path
elsif usera_signed_in?
admin_path
else
dashboardj_path
end
end
def after_sign_out_path_for(resources)
new_feedback_path
end
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:email) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:category_businesstype_id, :firstname, :lastname, :companyname, :email, :password, :category_role_id, :staff, :number, :hear, :city, :category_qualification_id, :language, :category_careerlevel_id, :desiredjob, :category_distance_id, :category_cvpreference_id, :category_joboption_id, :preferedlocation, :category_notice_id, :category_country_id, :category_positiontype_id ) }
end
end
According to your case, you want to redirect user after signup on a specific path. For that you need to override after_sign_up_path instead of after_sign_in_path.
In application controller you should have this method
def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
after_registration_path // Your path should goes here
end
After sign_in path can only be used when you are trying to actually log in user to your system immediately after registration. Here you have to just redirect a user.
I've been busting myself for a ton of hours now on how to do this.
I have 2 models.
intern.rb
company.rb
I've been able to add custom fields on registration, for me that was :name. I did that by adding:
before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |i| i.permit(:email, :password, :name) }
end
I've been reading up on the devise readme and trying to understand how to add it so it's specific to one user model. But I get an error every single time.
I tried creating a controller called:
interns_controller.rb
with the code:
class Intern::ParameterSanitizer < Devise::ParameterSanitizer
def sign_up
default_params.permit(:email, :password, :name)
end
end
and then adding this into the
application_controller.rb
code:
protected
def devise_parameter_sanitizer
if resource_class == Intern
Intern::ParameterSanitizer.new(Intern, :intern, params)
else
super
end
end
however I get an error. What am I doing wrong here?
