How to define a custom path in rails?

Question

I have a User model. If I do:

  @user = User.new
end

then

  <% form_for(@user) do |f| %>

You can also customize restful routes. For example in my application only the index and show actions are appropriate for certain controllers. In my routes.rb file I have some routes like this:

map.resources :announcements, :only => [:index, :show]

You can also use :except if that's more appropriate.
