Whitelisting with devise

Question

I am using devise to manage user authentication in my rails app. Devise is really great for that.

However I have a special requirement for my application: A user mus

Answer 1

I did create my own controller as suggested:

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
    def create
        email = params[:user][:email]
        if Admin::Whitelist.find_by_email(email) != nil
            super
        else
            build_resource

            set_flash_message :error, "You are not permitted to sign up yet. If you have already payed your registration fee, try again later."
            render_with_scope :new
        end
    end
end

I placed it in app/users/registrations_controller.rb. Then I had to copy the devise registration views into app/views/users/registrations because the default views were not used.

It is working now, thanks for your help
