I need to install the classic\_pagination plugin for reasons I’d rather not go into. However, when I run ruby script/plugin install svn://errtheblog.com/svn/plugins/classic\_pagination there is no output (none at all), and it doesn’t install the plugin, or do anything else as far as I can tell. I even tried installing will\_paginate instead, but the same thing happens. Any help? This is a real bottleneck on my project. Thanks in advance. ---

So I downloaded two different versions of the svn client and I still can’t install the plugin. This is getting kind of annoying because I was able to install auto\_complete with no problem. Also, I’m going to have to get this rails code running on my employer’s computer and I don’t really want to make him install a program he’s only going to use to install a single plugin. Is there an easier way to have classic pagination (as in without installing svn), or is there something really obvious that I’m missing? Thanks. On Oct 11, 8:41 pm, Frederick C.

If you can grab the files from somewhere else you can just copy them in. I can’t check out code from that url either (svn: Can’t connect to host ‘[errtheblog.com](http://errtheblog.com)’: Connection refused) so it may just be unavailable right now. Once you’ve got the plugin in your app you don’t need svn Fred ---

Alright, I installed an older version of Rails and copied pagination.rb from C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-1.13.3\lib\action\_controller and pasted it in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-2.0.1\lib\action\_controller but I still get “undefined method paginate” when I try to display the page. Are there some other files I need to copy/settings I need to change? The app is running Rails 2.0.1, by the way. Again, thanks for all your help on this. James On Oct 12, 4:44 pm, Frederick C.

For starters you would need to modify actioncontroller.rb (which is the thing that loads the various bits of action controller). There seems to be a copy of classic\_pagination at [GitHub - masterkain/classic\_pagination: Class pagination plugin for Rails. Hard to find ancient and dead stuff.](http://github.com/masterkain/classic_pagination/tree/master) too. Fred
