After searching for long how to solve this issue and finding long and winding solutions, I found a way to solve it myself in a very simple way; as it is here it's really bare bones and possibly prone to bugs, but it does exactly what I wanted, so I thought other people might find it interesting.
So, let's say we are using Devise on the
user and vendor models, and we generated our custom session controllers in user/sessions_controller.rb and vendor/sessions_controller.rb. The first thing that came to my mind was to find a way to customize the redirection from the controllers by overwriting some of the functions, but it turned out to be complicated and not working as expected.As such I came out with a much simpler even though less elegant solution; that is overwriting the default function
after_sign_in_path_for(resource) in the application controller, checking whether in my session I have an instance of one kind of resource or the other.Here is the relevant code:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
[...]
def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
if current_user
"your_user_url"
elsif current_vendor
"your_vendor_url"
end
end
end
I hope this will help you as much as it helped me.
