Redirect User to Signup

Question

Using before_action :authenticate_user! to check if user logged in. But it sends users to login instead of signup.

Answer 1

the way I like to set up my users area using devise is:

  # config/routes.rb
  devise_for :users, :controllers => {
    registrations: 'users/registrations',
    sessions: "users/sessions",
    passwords: 'users/passwords',
    confirmations: 'users/confirmations'
  }

  authenticate :provider do
    namespace :providers do
      ....
    end
  end

Then I have a controller that manages all other users controllers like this

#app/controllers/user_controller.rb
class UserController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :authenticate_user!
  layout 'users/default'
  before_filter :check_user_active

  private
  def check_user_active
    unless current_user.active
      flash[:notice]= t(:user_not_active)
      sign_out current_user
      redirect_to new_user_session_path
    end
  end
end

all my other user controllers look inherit from it like

#app/controllers/users/users_controller.rb
class Users::UsersController < UserController
  ...
end

I hope that this helps.
