Override devise registrations controller

Question

I have added a field to the sign-up form that is based on a different model, see How do I use nested attributes with the devise model for the gory details. This part is work

Answer 1

A better and more organized way of overriding Devise controllers and views using namespaces:

Create the following folders:

app/controllers/my_devise
app/views/my_devise

Put all controllers that you want to override into app/controllers/my_devise and add MyDevise namespace to controller class names. Registrations example:

# app/controllers/my_devise/registrations_controller.rb
class MyDevise::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  ...

  def create
    # add custom create logic here
  end

  ...    

end 

Change your routes accordingly:

devise_for :users,
           :controllers  => {
             :registrations => 'my_devise/registrations',
             # ...
           }

Copy all required views into app/views/my_devise from Devise gem folder or use rails generate devise:views, delete the views you are not overriding and rename devise folder to my_devise.

This way you will have everything neatly organized in two folders.
