I'd like to show a sign_UP form in anywhere on my application. I just know how to do this with a sign_in form, but with the sign_up form, the same method dont work.
[...]
<% unless user_signed_in? %>
<%= form_for("user", :url => user_session_path) do |f| %>
[...]
I am trying for many days on the forums to find a solution for this issue. I hope someone here can help me.
Thanks!
Here's how I managed to did it.
I've put a sign up form in my home#index
My files:
view/home/index.html.erb
<%= render :file => 'registrations/new' %>
helper/home_helper.rb
module HomeHelper
def resource_name
:user
end
def resource
@resource = session[:subscription] || User.new
end
def devise_mapping
@devise_mapping ||= Devise.mappings[:user]
end
def devise_error_messages!
return "" if resource.errors.empty?
messages = resource.errors.full_messages.map { |msg| content_tag(:li, msg) }.join
sentence = I18n.t("errors.messages.not_saved",
:count => resource.errors.count,
:resource => resource_name)
html = <<-HTML
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2>#{sentence}</h2>
<ul>#{messages}</ul>
</div>
HTML
html.html_safe
end
end
You need that part because Devise works with something called resource and it should be defined so you can call your registration#new anywhere.
Like that, you should be able to register. However, I needed to display errors on the same page. Here's what I added:
layout/home.html.erb (the layout used by index view)
<% flash.each do |name, msg| %>
# New code (allow for flash elements to be arrays)
<% if msg.class == Array %>
<% msg.each do |message| %>
<%= content_tag :div, message, :id => "flash_#{name}" %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
# old code
<%= content_tag :div, msg, :id => "flash_#{name}" %>
<% end %> #don't forget the extra end
<% end %>
I found this code here
And here's something I created: I saved my resource object if invalid in a session so that the user hasn't to fill every field again. I guess a better solution exists but it works and it's enough for me ;)
controller/registration_controller.rb
def create
build_resource
if resource.save
if resource.active_for_authentication?
# We delete the session created by an incomplete subscription if it exists.
if !session[:subscription].nil?
session[:subscription] = nil
end
set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_navigational_format?
sign_in(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => redirect_location(resource_name, resource)
else
set_flash_message :notice, :inactive_signed_up, :reason => resource.inactive_message.to_s if is_navigational_format?
expire_session_data_after_sign_in!
respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
end
else
clean_up_passwords(resource)
# Solution for displaying Devise errors on the homepage found on:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4101641/rails-devise-handling-devise-error-messages
flash[:notice] = flash[:notice].to_a.concat resource.errors.full_messages
# We store the invalid object in session so the user hasn't to fill every fields again.
# The session is deleted if the subscription becomes valid.
session[:subscription] = resource
redirect_to root_path #Set the path you want here
end
end
I think I didn't forget any code. Feel free to use whatever you need.
Cheers !
rails generate devise:install from console. This will generate all devise views.
After that in the view render 'devise/users/new' or something similar, cant check syntax now.
