Hi, I am using normal pagination code in controller as

@photo\_pages ,@photos = paginate\_collection @profile\_user,:per\_page =\> 16,:page =\> @params[:page]

and in view using the code above specified.

Regards, kiran

Hi &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Add the following code to view\_helpers.rb .The file is in vendor/plugins/will\_paginate/lib/will\_paginate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;def page\_link\_or\_span(page, span\_class = 'current', text = nil) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;text ||= page.to\_s &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if page and page != current\_page &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if update = @options[:update] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@template.link\_to\_remote text, :update =\> update, :url =\> url\_options(page) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@template.link\_to text, url\_options(page) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@template.content\_tag :span, text, :class =\> span\_class &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then for ajax pagination in view do like \<%= will\_paginate @thecollectionyouwanttopaginate, :update=\>'div', :params=\>{:controller=\>'controller\_name',:action=\>'action\_name',:any\_additional\_parameters=\>@any\_additional\_parameters}, :container =\> false %\>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And for normal pagination do what you are currenly doing
