Forum: Ruby on Rails Devise question

Using Devise and would like to redirect to a different page upon
sign-in.  There is no controller for Devise sessions, so my question is
where is the method associated with a new session so I can redirect
signed-in user to a different page (or can I do it in the view below?)?
Currently directing to Home/index and want to redirect to Users/show

<h2>Sign in</h2>
<%= simple_form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url =>
session_path(resource_name), :html => {:class => 'form-vertical' }) do
|f| %>
  <%= f.input :email, :autofocus => true %>
  <%= f.input :password %>
  <%= f.input :remember_me, :as => :boolean if
devise_mapping.rememberable? %>
  <%= f.button :submit, "Sign in", :class => 'btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>

I ended up doing this:

Create a sessions_helper module:

 module SessionsHelper

private

  def set_return_path
    # Below is the proper way to set a redirect after login with devise
    session[:user_return_to] = request.fullpath # This will just 
redirect
back to the last page the user was on.
                                                                  #  You
can change it to the Users/show path once it exists.

  end

end

That works after sign in.

If you need to redirect to a specific page after a user updates their
account you need to have
a registrations controller:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

protected

  # Customize the Devise after_update_path_for() for redirect to 
previous
page after edit
  def after_update_path_for(resource_or_scope)
    case resource_or_scope
    when :user, User
      store_location = session[:user_return_to]
      (store_location.nil?) ? "/" : store_location.to_s
    else
      super
    end
  end

end

Looks like Devise doesn't automatically have a Users/show view:

     new_user_session GET
/users/sign_in(.:format)                          devise/sessions#new
            user_session POST
/users/sign_in(.:format)                          devise/sessions#create
destroy_user_session GET
/users/sign_out(.:format) 
devise/sessions#destroy
          user_password POST
/users/password(.:format) 
devise/passwords#create
   new_user_password GET
/users/password/new(.:format)                     devise/passwords#new
   edit_user_password GET
/users/password/edit(.:format)                    devise/passwords#edit
                                 PUT
/users/password(.:format) 
devise/passwords#update
cancel_user_registration GET
/users/cancel(.:format)                           registrations#cancel
       user_registration POST
/users(.:format)                                  registrations#create
 new_user_registration GET
/users/sign_up(.:format)                          registrations#new
edit_user_registration GET
/users/edit(.:format)                             registrations#edit
                                 PUT
/users(.:format)                                  registrations#update
                                 DELETE
/users(.:format)                                  registrations#destroy
              user_unlock POST
/users/unlock(.:format)                           devise/unlocks#create
       new_user_unlock GET
/users/unlock/new(.:format)                       devise/unlocks#new
                                  GET
/users/unlock(.:format)                           devise/unlocks#show

Looks like this Stack Overflow question answers how to do that:

Hope that helps.

Thank you !

I also found this which seems to work well...

routes.rb:

 authenticated :user do
    root :to => 'users#show'
  end

  root :to => "home#index"
