will_paginate issue

Hi,

I am trying paginate (will_paginate) users posts. It is counting and showing the page links correctly, but still showing all the posts on one page.

@entries = @user.entries.paginate :per_page => 5, :page => params[:page], :order => 'created_at DESC'

If I change it to @entries = Entry.paginate :per_page => 5 ........ It is fine, but I would like to show only given users posts.

Thx, pete

Is your entries association funny in any way ?

Hi Fred, thanks. I have users and entries controller. In my show controller (mydomain.com/profile/:username), I am using <% for entry in @user.entries %> to show user posts. I dont know, if it is funny in any way or not. :).

USERSCONTROLLER: def show   @entry = Entry.new   username = params[:username]   @user = User.find_by_username(username)   @entries = @user.entries.paginate :per_page => 3, :page => params[:page], :order => 'created_at DESC' . . . end

ENTRIESCONTROLLER: def show     @entry = Entry.find_by_id_and_user_id(params[:id], params[:user_id], :include => [:user, [:comments => :user]]) end

That's not what I meant. What I meant was does it have any interesting options on it that might confuse will paginate ?

No, its just a plain text and thats it. It is a simple sideblog (user_id,body,created_at).Could it be problem, that I am using data from entries controller in User controller? Cheers, Pete

That's not what I meant. I was thinking of things like custom :finder_sql and so on

No.

You mentionned

If you actually have that line in your view you'll be ignoring the pagination stuff completely, since @entries is the thing with the limited collection

Hi Fred,

all right, thanks. I've just tried to render the posts as collections of partials. <%= render :partial => 'user_posts', :collection => @user.entries %>

But it is still the same. Is there another way to show only the users posts and then be able to paginate them? THX

no. you need :collection => @entries (assuming that in your controller you've done @entries = @user.entries.paginate ...
