Hey all, I'm using devise plugin for rails. When the user creates a new session, in addition to devise authenticating the user, I want to check if the user is enabled by checking the value of the enabled (a boolean) field in the database. If the value is 0, I want to alert user that they haven't been enabled, otherwise devise can do it's thing.
I have this: class SessionsController < Devise::RegistrationsController def new super end def create @user = User.authenticate(params[:user][:email]) if !@user.enabled raise "You are not enabled" else super end end def update super end end I have this in User model: class User < ActiveRecord::Base devise :invitable, :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable def self.authenticate(email) u = find(:first, :conditions=>["email = ?", email]) return nil if u.nil? return u end scope :enabled, :conditions => {:enabled => true} And the routes: devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations", :sessions => "sessions" } Unfortunately right now I get a nil object error for instance variable @user, presumably because the params hash is not structured correctly. I look at html form and notice the name attribute for email says users[email] which is an array. So that's why I try to do it: [:user][:email] but it doesn't work. Or if you know a better way of doing all this, I'd greatly appreciate the knowledge.
