Rails & Devise: How to render login page without a layout?

Question

I know this is probably a simple question, but I\'m still trying to figure Devise out...

I want to render :layout => false on my login page; how can I do

Answer 1

By using the devise_controller? helper you can determine when a Devise controller is active and respond accordingly. To have Devise use a separate layout to the rest of your application, you could do something like this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  layout :layout_by_resource

  protected

  def layout_by_resource
    if devise_controller?
      "devise"
    else
      "application"
    end
  end
end

create a devise.html.erb file in your views/layouts

So if its a device controller will render the devise layout else the application layout
