How to add a custom RESTful route to a Rails app?

Question

I\'m reading these two pages

1. resources
2. Adding more RESTful actions

The Rails Guides page shows

map.resources :photos, :new

If i'm understanding your question right, you just want to rename the urls of the new and create actions.

This would be done like so:

map.resources :users, :path_names => {:new => 'signup', :create => 'register'}

If you really would like to add new routes with corresponding controller actions, then Damiens answer is the way to go.
