Hello.

Novice question: How can I use pagination function in partial view? I ve  
tried like this: ActionController::Pagination::paginate, but it throws  
NoMethodError. Is the way like Model.find or… ?

Thanks a lot!

use the will\_paginate plugin [http://errtheblog.com/post/4791](http://errtheblog.com/post/4791)

and you should do the paginating in your controller and then pass the  
ivar to your partial

Hi,

There is a will\_paginate group:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/will\_paginate](http://groups.google.com/group/will_paginate)

Ask your usage questions there and I will be happy to respond.
