How to skip a before_filter for Devise's SessionsController?

Question

I have a before_filter in my ApplicationController; that is, for every controller in my project.

How can I skip_before_filter

Answer 1

We did something like this:

First up, create your own session controller, make sure to inherit correctly:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
  skip_before_filter :foobar

Then fix the routes

devise_for :users,
  :controllers => {
    :sessions => "sessions"
  }

Alternatively you could monkey-patch Devise's session controller.
