Hi  
I am trying to add pagination to my noddy blog.

I installed the paginate\_find plugin (manually because I had (firewall?)  
problems). It was a straight copy into vendor as far as I can see.

Anyway when I add :page to my index find it magically affects a  
follow-up  
find\_by\_name so that the find\_by\_name returns nil.

@posts = Post.find(:all,  
:page =\> {:size =\> 10, :current =\> params[:page]}, # new :page line  
:include=\>:tags,  
:conditions =\> [conditions.join(’ AND '),  
params],:order =\> ‘posts.datetime desc’)

@posts.each do |post|  
post.text.gsub!( /[embed,.+?]/ ) do |s|  
m=s.split(/,|[|]/)

if not m.nil?  
pic = Picture.find\_by\_name(m[2]) # finds no records when :page  
added above  
…  
end  
end

I have tried replacing find\_by\_name with a generic find using a name  
parameter.  
Did not help

This looks like a bug in paginate\_find at the moment.
