How to record the IP address a user signed up with using Devise and Ruby on Rails?

I tried the following:

In user.rb:

before_create :record_sign_up_ip

protected
def record_sign_up_ip
  self.sign_up_ip = current_sign_in_ip
end

Unfortunately, although current_sign_in_ip has my correct local ip of 127.0.0.1, sign_up_ip remains as nil. How can I easily get the IP of someone signing up? Normally I would put this in the create controller, but with Devise, there is no controller for User.

Override the controller used by Devise as noted at Override devise registrations controller

As modified from that post, create app/controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb:

# app/controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  def create
    params['user']['sign_up_ip'] = request.env['REMOTE_ADDR']   
    super
  end

end

Also modified from that post, to use that controller:

# app/config/routes.rb
devise_for :users, :controllers => {:registrations => "users/registrations"}

You also need to make sign_up_up accessible (for Rails 3):

# app/models/user.rb
  attr_accessible :sign_up_ip

In your user model,

def init
    self.sign_up_ip = current_sign_in_ip
end
