Hi,

I would like to use [Welcome cardboardrocket.com - BlueHost.com](http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find)  
pluggin with a partial. But I don’t understand why it’s not possible to  
remplace in the app/views/articles/index.html.erb view this code:

\<% @articles.each do |article| %\> 1. \<%= article.name %\>
\<% end %\>
\<%= paginating\_links(@articles) %\>

by this new one:

\<%= render :partial =\> @articles %\>  
\<%= paginating\_links(@articles) %\>

I ask this because when I do this, I have an error. :s  
Thanks for any help.

hey Zangief, it’s kinda hard to diagnose the problem without  
specifying the error message. Provide us some details on the error  
and we might be able to provide a solution
