that’s all to it. if you can start script/server and get no errors for
it, it should be ok so far.

to actually paginate something do this (example for model named
Product):

@products = Product.paginate(:all, :order => “products.created_at
DESC”,
:page =>
params[:page].to_i, :per_page => params[:per_page].to_i)

mind, that params[:page] & params[:per_page] should be initialized
properly
per_page should be 1 for first call and set to other pages for further
calls. but will_paginate will
handle most of it.

in the view you get the pagination links like that:
<% unless @products.nil? or @products.empty?%>
<%= will_paginate @products, :inner_window => 2 %>
<% else %>
found nothing
<% end %>

Classic pagination has been moved into a plugin since 2.0.
