[Rails] Re: CRUD pattern for modals

The popup sounds like some AJAX. You can create JavaScript views for
your actions (action.js.erb) and use XHR with an Accept: text/
javascript header to get those views (probably users/index.js.erb and
users/new.js.erb), and do the popup etc. within that. Similar course
of action for users/create.js.erb, which would display the message
when it was finished. That's a quick overview, check out this
Railscast to get a better idea of how to do that.
