Customizing Devise views in Rails

Question

I'm using devise for user auth, but I have nice mockups for the signup, login, etc. pages. I've already done the rails generate devise:views User command and have all of the views in the views folder, however, when I replaced the registration/new.html.erb with my own new.html.erb, nothing changes nor looks different. It's as if I had done anything.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or at least how to successfully customize devise views

P.S. Is it important to note that I changed the route of devise/registration#new to /signup?

Answer 1

at a glance answer.

...instead of

rails generate devise:views User

use:

rails generate devise:views

If you've already done it, move the folders devise created from app/views/User to a new folder app/views/devise (or just rename the User folder to devise, if that's an option.)

Those folders are:

app/views/User/confirmations
app/views/User/mailer
app/views/User/passwords
app/views/User/registrations
app/views/User/sessions
app/views/User/shared
app/views/User/unlocks

No other changes are necessary.
