ruby - Override "show" resource route in Rails

Question

resources :some_resource

That is, there is a route /some_resource/:id

In fact, :id for some_resource will always be stored in session, so I want to override the path /some_resource/:id with /some_resource/my. Or I want to override it with /some_resource/ and remove the path GET /some_resource/ for index action.

How can I reach these two goals?

Answer 1

In your routes.rb put:

get "some_resource" => "some_resource#show"

before the line

resources :some_resource

Then rails will pick up your "get" before it finds the resources... thus overriding the get /some_resource

In addition, you should specify:

resources :some_resource, :except => :index

although, as mentioned, rails won't pick it up, it is a good practice
