Custom routing using devise

[Andrew Romanov]

Hello. I want to have /login route instead of /users/sign_in. I am
using Ubuntu 9.10, rails3 edge, devise edge. I found out that to make
that work I have to set config.use_default_scope in "config/
initializers/devise.rb" to true . I could set config.default_scope
= :user, but I have actually only one model that uses devise gem. When
I set routes to

map.sign_in "/login", :controller => "sessions", :action => "new"
or
match "/login" => "sessions#new", :as => :sign_in

I actually get -
Routing Error
uninitialized constant SessionsController

Is something wrong with rails and Engines or I am doing something
wrong? Thanks.

P.S.
I already had one question about devise and here is the result
http://wiki.github.com/plataformatec/devise/custom-field-for-sign-in
Will be glad to help in advise

Hello Andrew,

You really need to set config.default_scope to your unique scope as
well (for instance :user), to let Devise/Warden know about it.
And you also don't need to setup the routes by yourself, by using
default_scope, Devise/Warden will use this scope when you request /
sign_in for instance. But if you really want/need to do it,
controllers are under Devise module, so you don't have
SessionsController, but Devise::SessionsController.

Andrew,

Shouldn't it be:

match "/login" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :sign_in

It changed on Devise master.

This works ok. Thanks. But there is one issue - when I try to put some
login information and make a mistake - route changes to /users/
sign_in. Is there a simple way to change that? I would like to have /
login all the time.

If you do:

match "/login" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :user_sign_in

Before or after devise_for, it *may* work. :)

Please let us know and if possible, add it to the Wiki. :)

Thanks!

I am sorry, but this didn't work. I still get same /users/sign_in url.
Also I have found other problem - when I go to some page I am not
allowed to (as I am not logged in), I get /users/sign_in?
unauthenticated=true. I like tiny urls like /login ;) I will add this
to wiki if I solve this problem.

Sorry, I told you wrong. You should use:

  match "/login" => "devise/sessions#new", :as => :new_user_session

But I'm afraid you should overwrite all three session routes:

http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb#L112

You can also give :skip to routes.

  devise_for :users, :skip => :sessions

It won't generate routes for sessions, so you can generate your own. But you still need to provide the same named url routes.
