Devise with Confirmable - Redirect user to a custom page when users tries to sign in with an unconfirmed email

Question

With the Confirmable module enabled, Devise will not allow an unconfirmed user to sign in after a predefined period of time has elapsed. Instead the user is redirected back

Answer 1

I just did this, but took a different approach.

in app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController

  before_filter :check_user_confirmation, only: :create

  #
  # other code here not relevant to the example
  #

private

  def check_user_confirmation
    user = User.find_by_email(params[:email])
    redirect_to new_confirmation_path(:user) unless user && user.confirmed?
  end
end

This worked for me and seemed minimally invasive. In my app new sessions always have to go through sessions#create and users always sign in with their email address, so this may be a simpler case than yours.

You can of course redirect_to any location you desire in the check_user_confirmation method. new_confirmation_path was the logical choice for me because it provides users with the resources to get confirmed.
