How to create a custom route inside resource without overwrite path – SEO

I’ve this on routes.rb

resources :questions, except: [:show] do
   get '/resource/:subject/:id', to: 'resource#show', as: "resource", param: [:name, :id]

It says that:

Invalid route name, already in use: ‘resource’ You may have defined two routes with the same name using the :as option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming

I know that resources create two routes with the same path, show and destroy both uses resource_path, how does it is being created internally? and how i can generate my route for show wihtout overwrite the one in destroy?

    It seems to me that you could take out show and then define the route that you want separately. See if this works:

    resources :questions, except: :show

get '/resource/:subject/:id',
  to: 'resource#show',
  as: "resource",  # This is where the error is.
  param: [:name, :id]

    EDIT: Ah, yes. The :as parameter needs a different name. This will work:

    resources :questions, except: :show

get '/resource/:subject/:id',
  to: 'resource#show',
  as: "resource_show",
  param: [:name, :id]

    A good way to eliminate routes unneeded is by specifying the :only option

    resources :user, :only => [:edit]

    instead of

    resources :user, :except => [:new, :create, :edit, :update, :show, :destroy]
