As others have said, you just need to define the custom action in your
routes.
But I might suggest a more restful approach:
map.resources :users, :has_many => :payments
Then you can use links like
http://localhost:3000/users/2/payments
This calls the index action of a Payments controller. You can look at
params[:user_id] to know which user is involved. This way you don't
need any custom actions.
Just a thought.
