Rails form_for (new) redirect to show after submission

I'm using the admin session to create a new client. When I submit the form I need it to redirect to that client show page but the @client id is equal to nil at that point. I'm using devise for the authentication, so when the admin creates the client it goes directly to the client homepage. I need to go to the "Admin" client index. Thanks for your help.

<%= form_for @client, :url => client_path(@client) do |f| %>

  <p> <%= f.label :name, "Empresa" %> <%= f.text_field :name %></p>
  <p> <%= f.label :email %> <%= f.text_field :email %> </p>
  <p> <%= f.label :password %> <%= f.text_field :password %> </p>
  <p> <%= f.label :contact %> <%= f.text_field :contact %></p>

  <%= f.submit "Create", :class => "btn btn-primary" %>

"Admin" client index.

If it's namespaced, you'll need to deal with the namespace in all of your object & path references:

<%= form_for [:admin, @client] do |f| %> #-> sends to admin/clients#create

This assumes you're using a namespaced Admin::ClientsController controller:

#config/routes.rb
namespace :admin do
   resources :clients, only: [:new, :create, :index]
end

#app/controllers/admin/clients_controller.rb
class Admin::ClientsController < ApplicationController
   before_action :authenticate_user!

   def index
      @clients = Client.all
   end

   def new
      @client = Client.new
   end

   def create
      @client = Client.new client_params
      @client.save
   end

end

As an aside, you need to ensure you're not using HTML as a styling mechanism.

I see people using <p> and <br /> for styling all the time; it's wrong. You have an entire CSS pipeline to style your forms:

#app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
form input {
   margin: 10px 0;
}

You can see this in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/qgk4dy3j/

Do you create a new client instance on clients_controller.rb method new ? also on your form I believe that <%= form_for @client do |f| %> is sufficient Example:

 def new
    @client = Client.new
  end

  def create
    @client = Client.new(client_params) 
    if @client.save
      redirect_to @client
    else
      render :new
    end
  end
