I’m trying to truncate the output of an array to a certain number.
Kind of like pagination limits:
:per_page =>5
Can pagination for an array be done at the view level, without having to
declare it at the controller?

Sure. Do something like this:
irb(main):002:0> a = %w{ one two three four five size seven }
=> [“one”, “two”, “three”, “four”, “five”, “size”, “seven”]
irb(main):003:0> a[0…4]
=> [“one”, “two”, “three”, “four”, “five”]

Sorry I’m kind of a newbie, I don’t know how exactly to implement that.
Here is the array:
<% for @post in @customer.post %>
<% end %>
could you show me how exactly do I have implement it.
Thank you much
Thanks Jacob; but both are giving me rerror messages. Don’t know what’s
going on.

Here is the array:
I believe that you can simply insert the selection in this line:
<% for @post in @customer.post %>
So that it becomes:
<% for @post in @customer.post[0..4] %>
If that doesn’t work you could try this instead:
<% @customer.post[0..4].each { |post| %>
...
<% } %>

Does the customer model have a has_many :posts declaration in the class?
If so, then it should be:
<% for @post in @customer.posts %>
right? It looks like @customer.post is only a single post object and in
that case, it wouldn’t respond to [].
I’m guessing that may be the problem based upon what you want to do and
the code here…
Maybe:
-
<% for post in @customer.posts.collection[0..4] do %>
- <%= post.title %> <% end %>

We can help you a lot better if you tell us what the error message is.
The errors themselves have quite a bit of meaning, it’s best to read
them carefully and understand them.
the customer model have a has_many :posts declaration in the class.
here is the working model of the site www.jnolla.com:3000/content/
I’m trying to only show 4 entries on the front page, per customer.
use
@array = @customer.post[0…4]
in the controller and then
<% for @item in @array -%>
try to avoid any type of assignment in the view
view variables should be treated as read only
if you need access to the other stuff later put it in
a different variable or an array of arrays

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
The error occured while evaluating nil.post
This is missing the parameter id for customer this is why it is
returning nill.

Sorry I guess this didn’t work:
@customer.post[0…4]
But this did:
@customer.post[0…4]
It was missing one period. Thank you all for your help. It works!
