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

This is how I did it. I wanted a different layout if the user had to sign in, but a different layout if the user had to edit his/her profile.

I am using Rails 4.1.1

In the application controller, add this :

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception
  before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  layout :layout_by_resource

  # Define the permitted parameters for Devise.
  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:firstname, :lastname, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)}
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:avatar, :firstname, :lastname, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password) }
  end

  def layout_by_resource
    if devise_controller? and user_signed_in?
      'dashboard'
    else
      'application'
    end
  end
end
