map.resources creates routes for the typical CRUD operations. Since you are
adding an additional operation, you could revise your mapping to this:
map.resources :users, :collection => {:sign_in => :get}
This creates awkward route names & feels ugly as you are mucking with a
resource controller's routes. It's probably better to do:
map.sign_in "/sign_in", :controller => "users", :action => "sign_in"
However, as logging in is really a session issue, rather than a user concern,
it would be even better to do something like this:
map.sign_in "/sign_in", :controller => "sessions", :action => "new"
Then move your sign_in method from users_controller to sessions_controller
You will want a file like /path_to_controller_views/sign_in.html.erb to handle
it (assuming you are using erb). Replace path_to_controller_views with either
/app/views/users or /app/views/sessions as appropriate.
