form_for but to post to a different action

Question

I want to have a form_for @user, but post to a custom action in the users controller.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Alternatively the same can be reached using form_tag with the syntax:

form_tag({controller: "people", action: "search"}, method: "get", class: "nifty_form")
# => '
'
