RoR devise custom sign up page

Question

am using devise with simple_form, can't seem to get a simple sign up working on a view that isn't generated by devise. Any help is appreciated!

= simple_form_for @user do |f|
 = f.input :email
 = f.input :password
 = f.input :password_confirmation
 = f.submit "Create", class: "btn btn-blue"

Controller:

def set_user
@user = params[:id] ? User.find(params[:id]) : User.new
end

def new
end

 def create
  @user = User.new(user_params)
  respond_to do |format|
    if @user.save
      redirect_to overview_path, notice: "logged in"
     else
      format.html { render action: 'new' }
      format.json { render json: @event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
   end
 end
end

Also, the params being passed in:

user[email]:lol@lol.com
user[password]:123123
user[password_confirmation]:123123
commit:Sign up

but @user.password = nil, and it returns an error!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In your controller do you have something like this? (or is yours attr_accessible?)

def post_params
   params.require(:user).permit(:email,:password)
end

Answer 2

Check your routes to see if your path is being changed. That is you would have your own controller and so the path has to be defined something like

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 'registrations' }

Answer 3

Devise comes with default views for sign-in/sign-out. In order to override the Devise views, you need to generate them first using:

rails generate devise:views

From there, you can go to app\\views\\devise\\sessions\\new and change the standard template. That is the simplest way from my experience.
