The same current_user on multiple models in devise

Question

Problem

I have a User model, and the Volunteer model that inherits from the User model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class Volunteer <         


        

Answer 1

I think this way you allow a user to be signed in as a User and a Voluteer in the same session.

Once you have a way to deal with that could you not just have

# in application_controller.rb
alias_method :devise_current_user, :current_user
def current_user
  devise_current_user || current_volunteer
end

in your application_controller.rb
