I just added users to my application using devise, and everything is working fine. But I can't see any folder of the type /views/users where I can change the new.html.erb and edit.html.erb to add new fields?
Does anyone know where these files would be located?
run
rails generate devise:views
that will place the view files in the views directory
From the docs:
Since Devise is an
engine, all its views are packaged
inside the gem. These views will help
you get started, but after sometime
you may want to change them. If this
is the case, you just need to invoke
the following generator, and it will
copy all views to your application: rails generate devise:views
You should run rails generate devise:views task to generate views

Devise works. I can login and log out, but there are no views in the my project. There is no app/views/devise folder. When I used rails g devise:views nothing appeared. How is Devise even working if there is no html, and how can I get these views to display in my project so I can edit them?
If files are not added, the files added into your gem folder and Devise will use them, but when you run the command, the created folder will just overwrite them.
If rails g devise:views still not working for you, one easy way to do this instead of trying to find what was the issue with the gem or Terminal is to just move them yourself.
Here you have the files Devise views, just copy paste them into your folder and you will be good.
Go to the application root directory and run following command to get views of devise:
rails g devise:views
I read on the documentation that you have to put this line in config/initializers/devise.rb
config.scoped_views = true
you will have access to the file for sessions,
and you can do too :
rails generate devise:views users
to have access to user files
You should take a look : https://github.com/plataformatec/devise
Hope that help
I generated views using this command
rails g bootstrap:themed Todo
it generated several views for my model.
I am using git and reverted the project to its former branch without the boostrap.
Now, I am trying to regenerate the views but it always returns this
identical app/views/manifests/index.html.erb
How do I force the bootstap generator to regenerate the views for my project?
TIA
I was able to work it out by moving my project into another directory, preferably into a different folder.
I'm working on a rails app and to modify the layout of devise pages i used on the root of my rails application
rails g devise:views
so in the directory
app/views
i have all the files of the devise gem.
now that my work is ended i would like to hide those files again maintaining the modifies , how can i do it?
if you know even a way to only hide password it could also work
i didn't found any help in the README file for the plugins
I created the /views/user/ folder using rails g devise:views but devise is still using the default views somehow.
Am I missing a configuration somewhere?
Yes, read documentation and add to your config/initializers/devise.rb
config.scoped_views = true
Also see that rails g devise:views create app/views/devise containing all needed views. If you don't have many Devise Models in your app DO NOT use above solution but simply edit files in app/views/devise. Then it will work faster, because it don't need to look every time for specified views.
i want to generate a complex scaffold and then remove the gems
is there a way to freeze the code that rails_admin or activescaffold generates so i can edit it myself ? (similar to how rails scaffold does it)
is there another gem that generates a more complex scaffold?
In active scaffold to alter a scaffold's views you use overrides.
This depends on what version of Rails you're running. If >2.1, you can specify gems explicitly in environment.rb using config.gem, and then run rake gems:unpack to freeze those gems into the vendor/gems folder. For >=3.0 use the Builder tool to freeze the gem.
If <= 2.1, then you could do the above step manually -- copy all of the ActiveScaffold gem code into a folder in vendor/plugins, and remove the gem itself. See earlier plugin-based versions of ActiveScaffold for guidance.
You can also do this only as needed. To customize views, create an app/views/active_scaffold_overrides folder, and copy any ActiveScaffold partials to customize there. They will automatically be used across your app -- no need to duplicate them into each view. To customize controller actions, create a controller named ActiveScaffold, and then have all other scaffold controllers inherit from this new ActiveScaffoldController. Now you have somewhere to override the actions themselves, and you can override helpers in the generated ActiveScaffoldHelper file too.
