Pagination help/how to

Rails
1

Hello,

I want to know how can I paginate a set of records. It seems
there is no direct way of doing this, and I am not able to understand
the
documentation of paginate, so any pointers on how to do this will be
much
appreciated.

To be specific what I want is that the records returned by user.recipes,
the
recipes of the particular user be paginated.

My attempt to do this failed because paginate expects a constant and not
set
of records.

@recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate( user.recipes, :per_page => 10)

Thanks for your help.

something like this…

@recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate(
:recipes,
:order => ‘user’,
:per_page => 10)

but I wonder if user is a field within your recipes table. If so, that
should work.
