282 PointsRoR simple app-Only email and password get saved, not first_name, last_name or profile_name
Im having an issue with first_name, profile_name and last_name in the database..after i sign up, only the email id and password get saved. I logged onto the console and cross checked this. Besides i went back a few videos to Jasons and while he was logging the console, even he had 'nil' assigned to the above first_name etc that i mentioned. Did i miss something?

282 PointsJoao!!i fixed this problem man! :) just add from the following, whats missing in your applicationController<ActionController::Base...i guess you're using rails 4 too huh?
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :username
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :first_name
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :last_name
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :profile_name
end
end

Shyam Pillai
282 Pointsits most likely the following that is missing from your class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base..just add it and see?
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :first_name devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :last_name devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :profile_name

1,407 PointsI add the file to the code is application_controller.rb?
Shyam Pillai
282 Pointsumm..kinda like you add the code to the file instead..you'll find the file applicaiton_controller.rb in that you would find the code that i pasted first.. except with devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :first_name devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :last_name devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :profile_name so just add this to it...
