Add new action to route

Question

I got these actions in users controller

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def index #default action
    ...
  end

  def new #default action
    ...
  end

  def another_new
    ...
  end

  def create
    ...
  end

  def another_create
    ...
  end
end

I want to be able to /users/another_new and call from some sort of link :method => :another_create to make /users/another_new

I got the following config/routes.rb

get '/users/another_new' :to => 'users#another_new'
resources :users

my question is if this is the correct way to add the get and how I add the another_create method.

Answer 1

in your config/routes.rb file do this

resources :users do
  collection do
    get 'another_new'
    post 'another_create'
  end
end

Also have a look HERE for clear understanding of concepts.

Hope this helps you dude :)

Answer 2

try this in routes.rb

match "/users/another_new " => "users#another_new", :as => 'another_new' 

then you can do

link_to "MyUrl", another_new_path

this should work. Good luck.
