11,207 Pointscan not update extra fields in database
I am using gem 'devise' and edit 3 more fields: first_name, last_name and profile_name but after I fill in registration form, I get an error: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass

11,207 Pointsok, I can fix this issue after searching on the internet and the reason is concern with strong_parameters in gem devise. Here is my error in development log file: Unpermitted parameters: first_name, last_name, profile_name
So I resolve it follow this way: Add these code below in controllers/application_controller.rb
before_filter :update_sanitized_params, if: :devise_controller?
def update_sanitized_params devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) {|u| u.permit(:first_name, :last_name, :profile_name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)} end
