Question

Very new to working with rails. I have implemented a basic login system using Devise. I am trying to add a couple of new fields (bio:string, name:string) into the sign_up pa

Answer 1

Make sure you are using Devise 3.0.0 at least. Add to your application controller:

before_filter :update_sanitized_params, if: :devise_controller?

def update_sanitized_params
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) {|u| u.permit(:bio, :name)}
end
