Devise by default has a configuration named:

config.allow_unconfirmed_access_for

You can set it in your devise initializer and it will allow the user to access any page, any time, while still unconfirmed.

Then, for the pages you require confirmation, you can simply add a before filter:

     before_filter :only_confirmed

Polymorphic Associations reversed

It's pretty easy to do polymorphic associations in Rails: A Picture can belong to either a BlogPost or an Article. But what if you need the relationship the other way around? A Picture, a Text and a Video can belong to an Article, and that article can find all media by calling @article.media

This example shows how to create an ArticleElement join model that handles the polymorphic relationship. To add fields that are common to all polymorphic models, add fields to the join model.
