I’m trying to learn Ember as I build for Discourse so forgive me if this is simple. I’m attempting to add a route underneath the userActivity resource. If I understand correctly, I should be able to do something along these lines:
```javascript
export default {
resource: 'user.userActivity',
map() {
this.route('votes');
}
};
```
But that doesn’t do it. I’ve read through these two topics:

For example, if you install the [discourse-akismet](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-akismet) plugin, you might have noticed that it adds a navigation item to the admin plugins section in of your Discourse: In this tutorial we’ll show you how to add an admin interface for your plugin.

For those that run into this issue, here’s what I found that seems to work:
```javascript
export default {
resource: 'user',
path: 'users/:username',
map() {
this.resource('userActivity', {path: 'activity'}, function(){
this.route('votes')
})
}
};
```
