Rails registration on landing page to complete registration

I have a home-landing-page that is my root url. I want users to begin the sign up process here where they input only their email, click signup, and continue the registration on a separate page.

This is the part of the form I want on the home-root-landing-page

<div>
<%= f.label :email %><br />
<%= f.email_field :email %>
</div>

This is what the full (separate) signup page looks like. I would like the email address the users entered on the home-root-landing-page to auto populate on this page (after they hit signup and are redirected to this page.)

<h2>Sign up</h2>

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= devise_error_messages! %>

  <div><%= f.label :first_name %><br />
  <%= f.text_field :first_name %></div>

  <div><%= f.label :last_name %><br />
  <%= f.text_field :last_name %></div>

  <div><%= f.label :profile_name %><br />
  <%= f.text_field :profile_name %></div>

  <div><%= f.label :email %><br />
  <%= f.email_field :email %></div>

  <div><%= f.label :password %><br />
  <%= f.password_field :password %></div>

  <div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
  <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>

  <div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div>
<% end %>

<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>

I'm using devise and I'm having trouble on how I would simply approach this. Thanks for taking a look.

In your view that you are rendering in homepage, set the form action to the signup page /user/signup.

In the signup controller, initialize the @user with the params that you've received from the homepage. 

#UsersController
def signup
  @user = User.new(params[:user]
end

The above action will render signup view. Now use @user in the form_for. Like:

form_for(@user)

This will auto populate the first name and email.

However, it is apparent that you're using Devise. I'm not sure it will work for its default controllers as it is initilizing the resource from empty hash (i see the following code in source)

  def new
    resource = build_resource({})
    respond_with resource
  end

So, you may have to override the registration controller.
