Rails add 2nd show view

I would like to have a 2nd show file for a table called locations. The file is views/locations/show2.html.erb

I've already added a 2nd index called index2.html.erb and I access it through

 locations_index2_path

But, if I try something similar, it doesn't work:

location_show2_path(location)

I've also added this to the location controller:

def show2
  @location = Location.find(params[:id])
end

Thanks!

UPDATE - I'm getting "Couldn't find Location without an ID" Parameters:

{"format"=>"14"}

URL:

http://localhost:5000/locations/show2.14

Routes:

  get "locations/show2"

Locations Controller:

 def show2
  @location = Location.find(params[:id])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # show2.html.erb
    format.json { render json: @location }
  end
end

Link in index view:

          <%= link_to 'Show', locations_show2_path(location),  :class => 'btn btn-mini btn-success' %>

This new error means you are not passing an params[:id] to your action on your controller. You can do this by adding information on your link: 

 <%= link_to 'Show', locations_show2_path(:id => location.id) %>

As show2 is a custom route, you have to specify what is the name of the parameter you are passing to the controller. Hope it helps.
