To all:

Hi,

I am unfamiliar with rails and restful design, please guide me.

let’s say I generated a scaffold\_resource for the model User

so now when I click on users/show/1 i get details of the User model,  
etc… the standard show, index, destroy methods are working.

However let say i need to have a users/1/welcome

which will display some info about the user of id 1 but its a  
different page layout as that with show.rhtml.

How can i make this to be restful ? I can have a welcome method inside  
the user controller and a welcome.rhtml, however when i run rake  
routes \> routes.txt i see that my welcome methods are not using the  
verbs GET or POST.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Regards  
Kim Sia
