Is there a quick and easy way to paginate something  
like @member.items (Member with has\_many :items)?  
Right now I do in the controller:

@item\_pages, @member\_items = paginate :item,  
:conditions=\>[“member\_id=?”, @member.id],  
:per\_page=\>25,  
:order=\>‘datetime desc’

It’d be more DRY if this was possible:

@item\_pages, @member\_items = paginate @member.items,  
:per\_page=\>25,  
:order=\>‘datetime desc’

And even more so if it could all be done in the  
template:

\<% for item in @member.items(:limit=\>25,  
:offset=\>params[:page]\*25) %\>  
…  
\<% end %\>

\<%= pagination\_links @member.items, offset, limit, …  
%\>

Any ideas?

Thanks,  
csn
