Routes for create action - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have my user_controller and the action create. I do however want to set a custom route to the create action so when the user hits register the create action sets the url to user/thank-you. I have added the following match to my routes file but the url stays unchanged after hitting the register button. Here is part of my routes file until the line with thank-you.
get '/:locale' => 'pages#home'
root :to => 'pages#home'
scope "(:locale)", locale: /en|es/ do
get "javascripts/dynamic_cities"
get "javascripts/dynamic_cities_to_stadia"
get "javascripts/dynamic_stadia"
get "javascripts/dynamic_modality_to_max_players"
get "tournaments/edit_info"
get "tournaments/seasons"
get "league_rosters/cancel_new"
get "tournament_administrations/cancel_new"
resources :admin_tasks, :only => [:index]
resources :sports
resources :countries
resources :cities
resources :stadia
resources :users
resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :teams
resources :tournaments
resources :leagues
resources :brackets, :only => [:new, :create, :edit, :update, :show]
resources :labs, :only => [:show, :edit]
resources :seasons, :only => [:edit, :show, :destroy]
resources :matches, :only => [:show, :edit, :update]
resources :player_participations
resources :highlights
resources :users do
resources :requests, :name_prefix => "user_"
end
# match 'league/:id/subscription' => 'league_rosters#new', :as => :subscription
match '/contact', :to => 'pages#contact'
match '/terms_and_conditions', :to => 'pages#terms_and_conditions'
match '/about_us', :to => 'pages#about_us'
match '/cookie_excluder', :to => 'pages#cookie_excluder'
match '/vacancies', :to => 'pages#vacancies'
match '/signup', :to => 'users#new'
match '/thank-you', :to => 'users#create'
Here is also the create method in the users_controller.rb
def create
# Note: This function is repeated in request controller in the invitations part. So any change should be added to request controller aswell
#user = User.new(email: params[:user][:email].downcase,
name: params[:user][:name].capitalize,
password: params[:user][:password],
password_confirmation: params[:user][:password_confirmation],
language: params[:user][:language])
#for user_menu
#title = t("user.new.title")
if #user.save
confirmation_code = "#{#user.id}#{random_string}"
if #user.update_attributes(confirmation_code: confirmation_code)
UserMailer.welcome_email(#user).deliver
vars = Hash.new
vars[:cc] = "#{confirmation_code}"
confirmation_url = url_maker(params[:request_protocol], params[:request_host_with_port], params[:request_locale], "#{email_confirmation_path}", vars)
UserMailer.confirm_email(#user, confirmation_url).deliver
sign_in #user
#user_tournaments = current_user.tournaments.all(:order => "name ASC")
#user_teams = current_user.teams.all(:order => "name ASC")
else
render 'new'
end
else
render 'new'
end
end
Is it possible for this to work the way I am approaching it or I will have to make a redirect and a thank-you page, which I can easily manage through my pages controller?

Answer 1

Move your thank-you route above the resources block as follows:
...
get "league_rosters/cancel_new"
get "tournament_administrations/cancel_new"
# Move route here
match '/thank-you', :to => 'users#create', via: [:post]
resources :admin_tasks, :only => [:index]
resources :sports
...
I'm also adding via: [:post] to the route since:
Routing both GET and POST requests to a single action has security implications. In general, you should avoid routing all verbs to an action unless you have a good reason to.
