Question

What is the best way to route a new method so that it can be called like so:

method_users_path

Users is a model, method is the new method i created which i want to link to.

Thanks, Muki

Answer 1

If you are doing with rails 3 you can have something like this in your routes.

resource :users do
    match "method", :on => :collection
end

this will create you method_users_path. Also you can use post/get instead of match if you want to be request type specific. See more about rails routing here

Update

When you say :collection, your route not will be object specific.
Collection action is for example the index, you dont have to pass any id for index.
For example users_path

Another is the :member, the member is object specific, so you have to pass an object id as a parameter, for example edit_user_path(@user) and you are passing user as a parameter.
