In Rails 2 we can add custom new actions to resourceful routes, like:
map.resources :users, :new => {:apply => :get}
How do we achieve the same thing in Rails 3?
resources :users do
get :apply, :on => :new # does not work
new do
get :apply # also does not work
end
end
Any ideas?

In a nested route, the belongs_to (child) association is always nested under the has_many (parent) association. The first step is to add the nested routes like so: In the above Rails router example, the 'index' and 'show' routes are the only nested routes listed (additional or other resources can be added).
For most applications, you will begin by defining routes in your routes/web.php file. The routes defined in routes/web.php may be accessed by entering the defined route's URL in your browser.
In Rails, a resourceful route provides a mapping between HTTP verbs and URLs to controller actions. By convention, each action also maps to a specific CRUD operation in a database.
You can use :path_names as explained in the edge routing guide:
resources :users, :path_names => { :new => "apply" }
That will only change the path to apply, it will still be routed to the new action. I don't think changing that is explicitly supported anymore (which is probably a good thing).
If you want to keep your apply action, you should probably do:
resources :users, :except => :new do
collection do
get :apply
end
end
But it leaves you wondering whether it isn't better to just rename the apply action to new.
