or even a how-to article?

Assuming you’re after a way of paginating by first letter, here are a
few lines of code which I wrote to do this:
routes.rb:
map.customers ‘customers/:letter’, :controller =>
‘customers’, :letter => /[a-zA-Z]/
customers_controller.rb:
def index
# Paginate alphabetically by surname.
if params[:letter] =~ /^[A-Z]$/i
letter = params[:letter].upcase
else
letter = ‘A’
end
@customers = Customer.all_by_name “contacts.last_name like ‘#
{letter}%’” # My customers table is joined to my contacts table
end
customers_helper.rb:
def glossary_index(params)
result = “
”
(‘A’…‘Z’).to_a.each { |letter|
result << link_to_unless_current(letter, url_for(params.merge
(:letter => letter))) {
“#{letter}”
}
}
result << ‘
end
stylesheet.css:
p.glossary-index a { margin: 0.6em; }
p.glossary-index span { margin: 0.6em; }
index.rhtml:
<%= glossary_index :controller => ‘customers’ %>
<% for customer in @customers %>
…
<% end %>
Hope that helps.
