Keep an action in view post out of devise authentication

I have installed devise gem for authentication. I have created a scaffold named Members. I have put 

before_filter :authenticate_user!

at the top of the Members controller. but I want to make 

Member.Show

action to be out of the authentication. I mean with out signing in any one can see the Members profile.

Thanks

You can add this line in your controller (typically, at the beginning):

class MembersController < YourBaseController
  # ...

  skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!, only: [:show]

  # ...
end

You can simply do

class MembersController < ApplicationController
   skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!, only: [:show]

   #rest of the codes
   def show
     #show codes
   end
end

The most elegant way is to use an except filter for this:

class MembersController
  ...
  before_filter :authenticate_user!, except: :show
  ..
end

This way all of your logic around the filter is contained in one place. You can also pass in an array of actions to exclude:

class MembersController
  ...
  before_filter :authenticate_user!, except: [:show, :another_action]
  ..
end
