I think you might want to re-read the documentation, your question is answered in the docs, just not all in one place.

Here are the two sections that concern your question: https://github.com/scambra/devise_invitable#configuring-controllers https://github.com/scambra/devise_invitable#integration-in-a-rails-application

Basically you're going to add a controller for invitations and add routing information for that controller (app/controllers/users/invitations_controller.rb) like this:

class Users::InvitationsController < Devise::InvitationsController
  def after_accept_path_for
    "some path you define"
  end
end

Then you'll change your routes.rb to tell devise to use your invitations controller like:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :invitations => 'users/invitations' }

Resolved the issue by overriding the edit action of devise invitable. – Neha Aug 13 '13 at 08:09

With devise 2.1.2 and devise_invitable 1.1.8, the page you end up on after setting password from the invitation link depends on what you set the root path for your devise resource in the config/routes.rb so @trh's answer doesn't work with this version (I tried and failed). From the devise code comments:

  # The default url to be used after signing in. This is used by all Devise
  # controllers and you can overwrite it in your ApplicationController to
  # provide a custom hook for a custom resource.
  #
  # By default, it first tries to find a valid resource_return_to key in the
  # session, then it fallbacks to resource_root_path, otherwise it uses the
  # root path. For a user scope, you can define the default url in
  # the following way:
  #
  #   map.user_root '/users', :controller => 'users' # creates user_root_path
  #
  #   map.namespace :user do |user|
  #     user.root :controller => 'users' # creates user_root_path
  #   end
  #
  # If the resource root path is not defined, root_path is used. However,
  # if this default is not enough, you can customize it, for example:
  #
  #   def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  #     stored_location_for(resource) ||
  #       if resource.is_a?(User) && resource.can_publish?
  #         publisher_url
  #       else
  #         super
  #       end
  #   end

In my case, I had two different namespaces with one namespace called "portal" which I was using a "PortalUser" class for the user. For Rails 3.2, I simply declared this line in my routes.rb:

get "portal" => 'portal/dashboard#index', as: :portal_user_root

The important note is the naming, "portal_user_root" which is the underscored name of PortalUser class name. Simply setting this named route is all that's needed for your devise_invitable to redirect as desired.
