    <p>I am building a job board and therefore have two user models and employer and an applicant. I am using devise and therefore my challenge now is to use this with the polymorphic relationship.</p> <p>Through some rails console testing I know that (resource) in devise passes all the user information and it is passing the role_type which is either applicant or employer. However it is set to nil and therefore although my user is being saved it is not saving the role type of applicant or employer. Furthermore nothing is being saved in the applicant or employer tables just in the user table. My code is below but my question really is how do I pass the role_type to the devise resource hash? Or if this isnt possible the most elegant way of solving this problem.</p> <p>Many Thanks!</p> <p>Also the full project code is here if I have missed anything <a href="https://github.com/PatGW/jobs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/PatGW/jobs</a></p> <p>Below is the views->devise->user->new.html.erb</p> <p></p> <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;Sign Up&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;%= form_for @user do |f| %&gt; &lt;% if @user.errors.any? %&gt; &lt;div class="error_messages"&gt; &lt;h2&gt; Form is invalid&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;% for message in @user.errors.full_messages %&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;%= message %&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= f.label :email %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :email %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= f.label :password %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.password_field :password %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= f.label :password_confirmation %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= radio_button_tag :role_type, "employer", :checked =&gt; false %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= label :role_type, 'Employer' %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;%= radio_button_tag :role_type, "applicant", :checked =&gt; true %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= label :role_type, 'Applicant' %&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="button"&gt;&lt;%= f.submit %&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>UsersController which inherits from DeviseController</p> <pre><code>class UsersController &lt; Devise::RegistrationsController def new super end def create User.transaction do super after_sign_in_path(resource) end end private def after_sign_in_path(resource) debugger @user = User.new(params[:user]) if params[:role_type] == "coach" role = Employer.create else params[:role_type] == "player" role = Applicant.create end end end </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
