Rails & Devise: How to render login page without a layout?

Question

I know this is probably a simple question, but I'm still trying to figure Devise out...

I want to render :layout => false on my login page; how can I do this with Devise?

Answer 1

You can subclass the controller and configure the router to use that:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController   layout false end 

And in config/routes.rb:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :sessions => "sessions" } 

You need to move the session views to this controller too.

OR make a method in app/controllers/application_controller.rb:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base    layout :layout    private    def layout     # only turn it off for login pages:     is_a?(Devise::SessionsController) ? false : "application"     # or turn layout off for every devise controller:     devise_controller? && "application"   end  end 

Answer 2

You can also create a sessions.html.erb file in app/views/layouts/devise. That layout will then be used for just the sign in screen.
