Hi,  
Thanx for the sugestion regarding the view of the pagination, but the  
code is not available in the site,  
[http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/16/pagination-gallery-examples-and-good-practices/](http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/16/pagination-gallery-examples-and-good-practices/)

I have written the code for the First and Last links in the  
collection.rb file as,

def first(\*args)  
if args.first.kind\_of?(Integer) || (@found &&  
!args.first.kind\_of?(Hash))  
proxy\_found.first(\*args)  
else  
find(:first, \*args)  
end  
end

def last(\*args)  
if args.first.kind\_of?(Integer) || (@found &&  
!args.first.kind\_of?(Hash))  
proxy\_found.last(\*args)  
else  
find(:last, \*args)  
end  
end

but I can’t find the place where they have to be called in the  
will\_paginate method in the view\_helpers.rb file.

Moreover, I have commented out the two methods def visible\_page\_numbers  
and def visible\_page\_numbers in the view\_helpers.rb file but it has no  
effect in the hide the display of the numbers 1 2 3 4…8 9 10.  
how to hide the display of the numbers 1 2 3 4…8 9 10?

Thanx in advance!

Have you tried just passing :page\_links =\> false to will\_paginate ?  
You could also supply a custom subclass of WillPaginate::LinkRenderer,  
would be easier than monkey patching will paginate
