You may be missing attr_accesible declaration for the "status" attribute of User table?

You can use the after_sign_in_path_for and after_sign_out_path_for hooks provided in devise. Just override those methods in your ApplicationController. Eg.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  private

  def after_sign_in_path_for(resource_or_scope)
    #update user status to online
    root_path
  end

  def after_sign_out_path_for(resource_or_scope)
    #update user status to offline
    root_path
  end
end
