Customizing the confirmation_url in Devise

Question

How do you customize this default line generated by Devise in the mailer view?

<p><%= link_to 'Confirm my account', confirmation_url(@resource, :confirmation_token => @resource.confirmation_token) %></p>

I've written a method in my controller called user_confirm. And I have also defined a route for it. Can I get the URL to link to that method with token as the params?

Answer 1

I used this routing:

map.user_confirm 'confirm/:confirmation_token',
    :controller => 'confirmations', :action => 'show'

And this ERB:

<%= link_to 'Confirm my account',
    user_confirm_url(:confirmation_token => @resource.confirmation_token) %>

And got this nice link:

http://localhost:3000/confirm/RjOnrd5yNREEDwsEfiFa

Answer 2

Its something like (in routes.rb):

devise_scope :user do
  match '/confirm/:confirmation_token', :to => "devise/confirmations#show", :as => "user_confirm", :only_path => false
end

and in views you can use something like:

<%= link_to 'Confirm my account', user_confirm_url(@resource.confirmation_token) %>

for Rails 3.
