Check my Ruby on Rails routes.rb file - ruby-on-rails

Question

I just recently started programming in Ruby on Rails, and I was wondering if some of you could look over my routes.rb file that I am using so far and tell me if I am over thinking this.
I am aware of the whole RESTful approach in RoR and I am trying to stick to it, but I am not sure if I am on track. So far my application only has the following functionality:
User registration
User activation (via email link)
User can request activation to be resent
User log in
User log out
User requests password reset (gets an email)
Basic UCP (change email and password)
I am using a lot of redirect_to *_url and *_path, so I want a lot of named routes. I am trying to explicitly declare only routes that are allowed. Thanks for your input.
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
get 'home' => 'pages#index', :as => 'home'
get 'testing' => 'pages#testing', :as => 'testing'
get 'register' => 'users#new', :as => 'register'
post 'users/create'
resources :users, :only => [
:new,
:create
]
get 'activation' => 'activations#new', :as => 'activation'
get 'activate/:token' => 'activations#activate', :as => 'activate'
post 'activations/edit'
resources :activations, :only => [
:new,
:activate,
:edit
]
get 'login' => 'sessions#new', :as => 'login'
get 'logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => 'logout'
get 'sessions/destroy'
resources :sessions, :only => [
:new,
:create,
:destroy
]
get 'forgot_password' => 'resets#new', :as => 'forgot_password'
post 'resets/create'
get 'activate_password/:token' => 'resets#activate', :as => 'activate_password'
put 'save_password' => 'resets#save', :as => 'save_password'
resources :resets, :only => [
:new,
:create,
:activate,
:save
]
get 'ucp' => 'ucp#show', :as => 'ucp'
post 'ucp_update' => 'ucp#update', :as => 'ucp_update'
resources :ucp, :only => [
:show,
:update
]
root :to => 'pages#index'
end

When you use resources, it automatically makes named routes for you. I won't go through your entire routes file, but one example:
get 'activation' => 'activations#new', :as => 'activation'
get 'activate/:token' => 'activations#activate', :as => 'activate'
post 'activations/edit'
resources :activations, :only => [
:new,
:activate,
:edit
]
Could be:
resources :activations, :only => [:new, :edit] do
get 'activate', :on => :member
end
which will produce new_activation_path, edit_activation_path, and activate_activation_path
Go to the Rails Routing Guide for a lot of cool stuff you can do in routes. For example, if you want to use "register" instead of "new" for your Users paths:
resources :users, :only => [:new, :create], :path_names => [:new => 'register']
