Hi everyone,  
I’m using the paginating\_find plugin to give pagination to my views…  
It works great…but  
Even if there is a single page in the list…it gives me a pagination  
link…which I don’t want…!!!  
I need some help to know- how to check whether there is a only one page  
in the result…so that I don’t print the links…  
Thank You…

Use ruby script/console in a command prompt to try things out…

> > c = Company.find(:all, :page =\> {:current =\> 1, :size =\> 1}, :limit =\> 1)  
> > =\> #\<PagingEnumerator:0x5d29880 @page\_count=1, @first\_page=1, @size=1,  
> > @page=1, @page\_size  
> > =1, @callback=#Proc:0x0618463c@C:/../lib/paginating\_find.rb:82,  
> > @last\_page=1, @stop\_page=1, @auto=false\>

> > c.page\_count  
> > =\> 1

In your view check that @your\_collection.page\_count \> 1 before you call  
the paginating find partial that generates the pages.
