different layout for sign_in action in devise

Question

I\'m trying to use a different/custom layout named \"devise\" for the sign_in action. I found this page in the devise wiki, and the second example even says you can do it pe

Answer 1

I figured it out, but I'll keep this question here in case other people are curious.

It was a stupid mistake. The fact is sign_in is the path, not the action. Looking at the relevant source, I can see that the required action is new, i.e., creating a new Devise Session. Changing my above code's conditional to:

if devise_controller? && resource_name == :user && action_name == 'new'

Works beautifully.

Hope that helps someone out there.
