Devise and simple-private-messages - ruby-on-rails

I am using Devise in my Ruby on Rails 3 application. I am trying to implement private messaging in my application and I came across this gem:
https://github.com/jongilbraith/simple-private-messages
I (accidentally) ran the following command.
rails generate simple_private_messages:model User Message
It created the Message model. But it changed some properties of my existing User model that I had generated using Devise using the following command:
rails generate devise User
Now, when I start my Ruby on Rails application I get this warning:
[WARNING] You provided devise_for :users but there is no model User defined in your application
And my Devise links have stopped working:
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined local variable or method `edit_user_registration_path' for #<#:0x1064c9490>):
Can someone please suggest how can I integrate the both or revert my changes if it is not possible to use them simultaneously?

I've followed these steps to install the gem:
rails generate devise:install
rails generate devise User
rails generate simple_private_messages:model User Message
Add this line (has_private_messages) to User Model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :encryptable, :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me
has_private_messages
end
Edit the routes.rb file, the order is important here, devise_for should be defined before the messages routes.
devise_for :users
resources :users do
resources :messages do
collection do
post :delete_selected
end
end
end
If you want the scaffold:
rails generate simple_private_messages:scaffold User Message
And remember to uncomment this (attr_accessor :to):
class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
is_private_message
# The :to accessor is used by the scaffolding,
# uncomment it if using it or you can remove it if not
attr_accessor :to
end

`method_missing': undefined method `devise_modules'

I'm trying to separate models from an RoR app into a gem. I'm getting an error when I extended the User model from the gem for adding Devise instance methods
I've tried different methods
User.class_eval and ModelsGem::User.class_eval
Single table inheritance like: class SuperClass < ModelsGem::User; end
Overriding the model class like class User < ActiveModel::Base
None of them worked with devise.. However, I could access methods of User model from the gem in the app and everything is working as expected other than devise.
You can do something like this
rails g devise:views
rails g devise user
if we wanna to add sth like first name and last name put it in the db before rake db:migrate
t.string :first_name
t.string :last_name
then rake db:migrate
in the user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable, :confirmable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :confirmable
end
I hope I did solve your problem

Remove admin registration route from rails-api devise_token_auth project?

I'm trying to prevent rails from exposing the devise_token_auth registration route so that admins can only be created from the console.
My admin.rb looks like this:
class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :database_authenticatable, :confirmable,
:recoverable, :trackable, :validatable,
:omniauthable
include DeviseTokenAuth::Concerns::User
end
I'm not sure what I should put in my config/routes.rb to prevent rails from exposing the route.
Removing :registerable ,:omniauthable and :confirmable from the model should do the trick.
Try adding this to your routes as well:
mount_devise_token_auth for 'Admin', at: 'admin_auth', :skip => [:registrations]

Rails Trying to create a profile after the user has been created

I'm trying to figure out how to create a new profile for the user that has just been created,
I'm using devise on the User model, and the User model has a one to one relationship with the UserProfile model.
Here's what my User Model looks like:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :roles
belongs_to :batch
has_one :user_profile
after_create :create_user_profile
def create_user_profile
self.user_profile.new(:name => 'username')
end
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end
This generate the following error:
undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass
i've tried User.find(1).user_profile in rails c and that works so I'm pritty sure the relationship is setup correctly,
I'm probably being a big fat noob and trying to fetch self incorrectly.
plus can you also tell me how to access the params in a Model... is that even possible?
A has_one relationship will automatically add the :create_<relationship> and build_<relationship> methods. Checkout the rails guide.
You could try this:
after_create do
create_user_profile(:name => 'username')
end
Or more likely
after_create do
create_user_profile(:name => self.username)
end

Rails : Adding an admin role using devise who can see all the users

I need to create an admin role using devise for my app. I've created basic authentication using devise . I have a devise user model in my app but now i need an admin who can show edit and destroy all the users. I tried following the tutorials but none of them helped.
I am using rails 3.0.10 and ruby 1.9.2-p290.
You just define role.rb first by creating migratioin
rails g model role name:string
then in role.rb
class Role
has_one:user
end
And in user model
class user
belongs_to :role
end
Insert two roles into DB
1.admin
2.user
Then check by this
if user.role.name == "admin"
# can do all your logic
else
your logic
end
Make sure insert role_id:integer into user model
Try it.......
I have similar requirement as yours and also don't want any user to be able to signup. All that will be taken care by Admin. Her what I've done.
I added another devise model called Admin
rails generate devise MODEL
Disable 'Registerable' for User model so that user cannot singup by themself
user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :encryptable, :confirmable, :lockable, :registerable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :first_name, :last_name, :role, :admin
# attr_accessible :title, :body
end
Enable CRUD for user by using sample from here: https://gist.github.com/1056194
Finally protect protect the users controller like so
users_controller.rb
# Add this
before_filter :authenticate_admin!
Hope this helps.

Devise Signout Routing Error

I'm using Devise 1.5.1 in a Rails 3.0.3 app. It works well, with one exception: The signout link gives me this error:
Routing Error
uninitialized constant UsersController
The link that leads to this is:
<%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
I haven't created an app/controllers/user_controller.rb file, but my understanding that this wasn't necessary when using Devise, correct?
In case it's relevant, my routes.rb file looks like:
Su::Application.routes.draw do
get "group/create"
devise_for :users
resources :users
resources :payers
resources :payments
resources :categories
resources :groups
match "adduser", :to => "groups#adduser"
root :to => "pages#home"
end
...and app/models/user.rb looks like:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :encryptable, :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
# Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
attr_accessible :first_name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :group_id
end
I have googled and searched on SO extensively, but to no avail. How should I troubleshoot something like this?
In your routes file, you have
devise_for :users
which serves for the routes for Devise, but
resources :users
is a generic CRUD route, which makes Rails to think that in your app, you have Users Controller, and that you are doing something with the Users model in your model.
The error tells that you don't have a Users Controller and that's true, but it's looking for it because of the route.
So, either delete the line or add a Users Controller if you want to do something with the Users model.
If anything is not clear, post it as a comment.
