Conditional sign out in Rails app using Devise

I'm creating a rails app where users log in and look at various pages. Some are private, and others are public. If a user signs out while viewing a private page, he should be redirected to root_path. If a user signs out while viewing a public page, he should be redirected to the same page (which will be rendered slightly differently now that he is signed out).

I want to do this with a conditional statement in the after_sign_out_path_for(resource_or_scope) method within my application_controller. The problem is that the @page variable, which is normally accessed from the pages_controller file, is nil and/or not available in this scope. What is the best way to access this variable (the last loaded page) from a different controller and after the session has been destroyed?

Thanks.

You can keep track of the last page in session variable and add before filter to keep it up to date in the pages controller.

session[:last_page_visited] = @page

You also have access to request.referrer which will give you the URL of the page where they signed out from. Not sure if you can determine private/public from that, maybe using regex?
