how to redirect users after login? (Ruby on Rails)

Question

When a user logs in, they automatically get routed to the /user page for example. How can I have them directed to the main homepage (home.htm.erb) after logging in?

this actually depends on your code. are you using some sort of authentication gem like devise or omniauth? or did you roll out your own? you need to include those details in your question. — jvnill, Mar 03 '13 at 03:11

I'm assuming you have a Sessions object you're creating? In the sessions#create action

redirect_to root_url

Depending on your gem for authentication

In your app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController  'new', :controller => 'sessions', :only_path => false, :protocol => 'http')
    if request.referer == sign_in_url
      super
    else
      stored_location_for(resource) || request.referer || root_path
    end
  end
end
