Devise registrations :: Routes rails 2.3.9

Rails 2.3.9 Devise 1.0.8

I'm trying to restrict registrations for a Devise User model to users with an admin role.

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Devise 1.0.8 and Rails 2.3.9. I've read the methods outlined in the Devise wiki about namespacing seperate Users::Registrations controller, and so far I've managed to get to the stage were the Users::Registrations controller is rendering a new user form - however on submission the form goes to the original Devise Registrations controller and the [:require_no_authentication] filter (which is skipped in the Users::Registrations controller) fires and redirects to the home page (due to the User already being logged in as an Admin).

I think this is an issue with the routes but I'm kinda stumped - most of the Google'd answers and suggestions are for Devise with Rails 3. Any ideas?

views/users/registrations/new.html.erb

    <h2>Sign up</h2>

<% form_for @user do |f| -%>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <p><%= f.label :email %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :email %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :fname, "First name" %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :fname %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :lname, "Last name" %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :lname %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :roles %></p>
  <p><%= f.select :roles, Role.all.collect{|r| [r.name, r.id]} %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :password %></p>
  <p><%= f.password_field :password, {:class => "password_check"} %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :password_confirmation %></p>
  <p><%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, {:class => "password_check"} %></p>

  <p><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></p>
<% end -%>

In the end I ended up defining the url to submit the form to in the form itself - not ideal and uses abit of a hack - if anyone can suggest a cleaner way of doing this I'll save the tick for that answer;

routes.rb

    map.devise_for :users
  map.new_user_registration '/users/registrations/new', :controller => 'users/registrations', :action => 'new', :conditions => {:method => :get}
  map.create_user_registration '/users/registrations/create', :controller => 'users/registrations', :action => 'create', :conditions => {:method => :post}

views/users/registrations/new.html.erb

    <h2>Sign up</h2>

<% form_for @user, :url => '../../users/registrations/create' do |f| -%>
  <%= f.error_messages %>
  <p><%= f.label :email %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :email %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :fname, "First name" %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :fname %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :lname, "Last name" %></p>
  <p><%= f.text_field :lname %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :roles %></p>
  <p><%= f.select :roles, Role.all.collect{|r| [r.name, r.id]} %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :password %></p>
  <p><%= f.password_field :password, {:class => "password_check"} %></p>

  <p><%= f.label :password_confirmation %></p>
  <p><%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, {:class => "password_check"} %></p>

  <p><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></p>
<% end -%>

ugly hack with '../../users/registrations' otherwise the form is routed to 'users/registrations/users/registrations' - if the :url modifier is left out then the form is submitted to the default Devise registrations controller action 'create' not 'Users/Registrations'
