Customizing signup form adding fields from Profile

[Matthew Simpson]

Hi fellow Social Streamers -

I'm currently trying to customize the signup form (views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb). What I want to do is add a couple of fields which belong to the Profile. Now this form is for User, User includes Subject, and Subject accepts_nested_attributes_for Profile. So I was thinking I could just use fields_for in the view and add my profile fields there and it would all Just Work. Something like this inside the form_for:

     

<%= f.fields_for :profile do |ff| %>

  <%= ff.label :country %>

  <%= ff.text_field :country %>

<% end %>

However, the nested fields are not rendered. I thought I might need to set up a blank new Profile so I tried adding the following code before the form_for:

<%

  resource.actor ||= Actor.new

  resource.actor.profile ||= Profile.new

%>

But that didn't make any difference. Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can add profile fields to the signup form?

Hi Matthew, it will be probably a problem related to attr_accessible attributes in the user model:

https://github.com/ging/social_stream/blob/master/base/app/models/user.rb#L23

However, in my experience, I find easier delegating the fields from the user/actor to the profile model that struggling with nested attributes, which is quite powerful but a bit complex.

You can find an example of this in the ViSH's code, in the other direction (delegate from profile to the user model):

Thanks Antonio, in the end I actually re-architected so this wasn't needed. But I will be displaying Actor fields on the Profile form so the example you gave will be helpful.
