Devise, Getting the registration controller to accept an image?

I updated views/devise/registrations/edit.html.erb to support a paperclip photo for the user (User.photo):

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :html => { :method => :put, :multipart => true }) do |f| %>

<p><%= f.label :photo %><br />
<%= f.file_field :photo %></p>

This seems to be submitting fine:

But it isn't saving to the DB for some reason?

Any ideas why that would be?

I remember Devise limiting the attributes that are accessible right from the bat.

If you add

attr_accessible :photo

to your user model does it work?

I ran through the same issue. I think you should ensure that in you ApplicationController

  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if:  :devise_controller?

and the define the method

def configure_permitted_parameters devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:photo,...here ) } end
