How To: Redirect to a specific page on successful sign up (registration)

The proposed way is available since Devise 1.2.rc

1. Make a new controller "registrations_controller.rb" and customize the appropriate method:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected

  def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    '/an/example/path' # Or :prefix_to_your_route
  end
end

If the account that is registered is confirmable and not active yet, you have to override after_inactive_sign_up_path_for method.

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected

  def after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    '/an/example/path' # Or :prefix_to_your_route
  end
end

You can see the whole lists of methods to customize on Devise source:

2. Modify config/routes.rb to use the new controller

Modify your devise_for line in routes.rb to look like this.

devise_for :users, controllers: { registrations: "registrations" }

Optionally Copy Views

Note: In rails 3.2.5 running Ruby 1.9.2-p290 the steps below don't seem to be necessary. You just need to create your RegistrationsController and alter your routes. Then, by virtue of inheriting from Devise::RegistrationsController, you pick up the existing Devise registrations views. This holds regardless of whether you've created those views already with

rails g devise:views

or not.

Note: After changing the controller in the config/routes.rb file, you will want to copy over the devise registration views over to the new app/views/registrations path.

Copy the files using "rails generate devise:views". After doing this, you need to copy views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb to views/registrations/new.html.erb Otherwise you will get a "Missing Template" error when you go to users/sign_up

3. Modify config/application.rb

You might need this line in case you encounter "MissingTemplate" error in "/users/sign_up" page.

config.paths['app/views'] << "app/views/devise"
