Rails 4 & Devise 4: Keep user on current page after updating profile

Question

I have a User model, and I am hoping to have different pages to edit their info so that I don't have everything on edit.html.erb

So far I have created views for page_content.html.erb and donation_options.html.erb which have my forms on them. Both work as intended and successfully update my User, but after submitting the form I am redirected the User root, which is show.html.erb . I would like to set it up so that the user stays on the current page after updating their profile. I am not sure if I need to edit my UsersController , or create a new controller, or take a different approach.

Here's an example of my form:

<%= form_for @user do |f| %>
              <!--Some inputs-->

              <div class="actions">
                <%= f.submit 'Update', :class => "btn btn-primary"  %>
                <!--After submitting, I'm taken to /users/:id/. I'd like to stay on /users/:id/current_view-->
              </div>
          <% end %>

If you already have a UsersController you should set something up comparable to this:

Class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    if @user.update(user_params)
      redirect_to your_path_here
    end
  end
end

I am not sure exactly what your UsersController looks like, but that should give you an idea. After a user is updated, use redirect_to with your path you would like the User sent to. You may also use redirect_to :back if you are looking to redirect back to the current page you are on.
