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

I believe there is a better solution than rewrite the RegistrationsController. I did exactly the same thing (I just have Organization instead of Company).

If you set properly your nested form, at model and view level, everything works like a charm.

My User model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable, :lockable and :timeoutable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  has_many :owned_organizations, :class_name => 'Organization', :foreign_key => :owner_id

  has_many :organization_memberships
  has_many :organizations, :through => :organization_memberships

  # Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :name, :username, :owned_organizations_attributes

  accepts_nested_attributes_for :owned_organizations
  ...
end

My Organization Model:

class Organization < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :owner, :class_name => 'User'
  has_many :organization_memberships
  has_many :users, :through => :organization_memberships
  has_many :contracts

  attr_accessor :plan_name

  after_create :set_owner_membership, :set_contract
  ...
end

My view : 'devise/registrations/new.html.erb'

Sign up

<% resource.owned_organizations.build if resource.owned_organizations.empty? %>
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= devise_error_messages! %>

  
<%= f.label :name %>

    <%= f.text_field :name %>

  
<%= f.label :email %>

    <%= f.text_field :email %>

  
<%= f.label :username %>

    <%= f.text_field :username %>

  
<%= f.label :password %>

    <%= f.password_field :password %>

  
<%= f.label :password_confirmation %>

    <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>

  <%= f.fields_for :owned_organizations do |organization_form| %>

    
<%= organization_form.label :name %>

      <%= organization_form.text_field :name %>

    
<%= organization_form.label :subdomain %>

      <%= organization_form.text_field :subdomain %>

    <%= organization_form.hidden_field :plan_name, :value => params[:plan] %>

  <% end %>

  
<%= f.submit "Sign up" %>
<% end %>

<%= render :partial => "devise/shared/links" %>
