I am working on this tutorial. I am currently running on rails 4.2.4. attribute_accessible doesnt seem to be working

I am reading the document on the latest devise,but can't seem to get it to work. I am running on version 4.2.4 which means that they have moved the acceptance of data to the controller. I have been following this documentation though but i don't quite know how to attack this issue.

https://github.com/plataformatec/devise

Could you explain how you would attack this issue if i want to permit the field output to be saved in the database.

Should i create a def user_params to the user controller.

Please help,

what file should i be putting? The views work fine? Would you like to see the Devise User Model file and the application controller? Routing files ? Please let me know. I only have one user model made with devise and the other model my post were scaffolded .

I have the same issue.. I am getting the error SyntaxError in Devise::RegistrationsController#new when trying to load the sign_up view. Please help, it obviously has something to do with the newer version of Devise.

I figured it out. Go in the application controller and paste this code. Thats where the user params needs to be put.

Make sure you reference if its params for login or sign_up 

  protect_from_forgery with: :exception

  before_action :configure_permitted_params, if: :devise_controller? 


  protected

    def configure_permitted_params
      devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) {|u| u.permit(:first_name, :last_name,
                                                :profile_name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)}
    end
