How to remove controller name in URL when using URL helpers (Rails 4.2.1)

I use this tutorial as the base (Railscasts - Model name in url, 5:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=963wTp9FCn4

I've added:

resources :points, path: "", only: [:show]

and now I can access the page by /page-name only when I access it directly. When point_path(point) or just point is used in one of my views it takes me to the same /points/page-name. So in Rails 4 I also have to modify my resourceful URL helpers?

edit: rake routes:

Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action import_points POST /points/import(.:format) points#import points GET /points(.:format) points#index POST /points(.:format) points#create new_point GET /points/new(.:format) points#new edit_point GET /points/:id/edit(.:format) points#edit point GET /points/:id(.:format) points#show PATCH /points/:id(.:format) points#update PUT /points/:id(.:format) points#update DELETE /points/:id(.:format) points#destroy root GET / static_pages#home contact GET /contact(.:format) static_pages#contact portfolio GET /portfolio(.:format) static_pages#portfolio about GET /about(.:format) static_pages#about login GET /login(.:format) sessions#new POST /login(.:format) sessions#create logout GET /logout(.:format) sessions#destroy test GET /test(.:format) static_pages#test GET /:id(.:format) points#show

edit2: I have checked resources :points, path: "", only: [:show] route on another ROR installation and it works, with IDs. I am using friendly_id gem and the route matches :id instead of my slugged name.

edit3: If I create slugs "manually" like in tutorial everything's working like intended.

edit4: if I put resources :points, path: "", only: [:show] on the top of the routes file pointhelper gives me right paths, but my static routes are broken.

Thanks in advance!

resources :points, path: "", as: 'direct_points', only: [:show]

This will give you 

direct_point_path(point)

Which is what you want... it will resolve to (application)/(page_name)
