Rails route to only index

This might be a simple routing question in Rails but I have searched around and received answers for Rails 2 rather than Rails 3.

I generated a scaffold and the 

resources :users

which includes new, edit, show are routed together with the index.

I only want to route to the index and remove the new, edit, show etc. I have already removed the html.erb files but they are still being routed.

Any advice on what I should do to remove the other routes would be appreciated.

Use the only option:

resources :users, only: [:index]

See Chapter 4.6 of the Rails Routing Guide.

By default, Rails creates routes for the seven default actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, and destroy) for every RESTful route in your application. You can use the :only and :except options to fine-tune this behavior. The :only option tells Rails to create only the specified routes:

resources :photos, :only => [:index, :show]
