Devise Nested Resources

I'm working on a new Rails (v3.0.0.rc) application using the Devise (v1.1.1) gem. In my application I have setup a User model which includes the person's e-mail address and name. I have also setup the following models that I'd like to attach to the User:

- Address (street, city, state, zip code) - Interest (name) - Donation (date of donation, amount)

My question is how can I go about setting up routing for these nested resources? When reading the documentation for Rails 3 routing I saw the that the following was possible:

resources :users do   resource :address   resources :interests, :donations end

Although when using devise, the `devise_for :users` helper doesn't appear to accept a block of nested resources. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to setup this behavior (or propose alternative ideas on what I could do). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I just happened to be looking for the same information. I found it here:

To quote the relevant part:

The solution is to give devise_for an alternate path to use for user authentication, e.g. accounts:

devise_for :users, :path => 'accounts'

resources :users do     resources :someresources end

It doesn’t matter what path you use, since devise is going to use its own controller to handle authentication requests.

Thanks, this is just what I was looking for.
