Form's and Actions.

Have the following form:

<%= simple_form_for @user, :as => :user, :action => "edit_notification" do |f| -%>       <%= f.input :email %>       <%= f.input :email_alerts %>       <%= f.input :email_summarize %>       <%= f.input :email_newsletter %>       <%= f.input :email_announcements %>       <%= f.button :submit %> <% end %>

It should trigger the edit_notification action ? But it triggers the standard edit action. Do i have to add more routes then: resources :users to get it to trigger ?

This is driving me mad at the time.

To override the default URL that a form posts to, you need to say something along the lines of :url => {:action => 'blah', :id => @user.id}

You don't have to create a route for it, but it's generally neater to do so
