Rails
1

I am working with Railsspace social networking book. I stuck in the
problem when i am doing paginate for the search result. It gives the
following error.

NoMethodError in CommunityController#index

undefined method `paginate’ for #CommunityController:0x57436f0

My Controller Index page coding is below

def index
@title = “Community”
@letters = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”.split("")
if params[:id]
@initial = params[:id]
@pages, specs = paginate(:specs,
:conditions => [“last_name LIKE ?”, @initial+"%"],
:order => “last_name, first_name”)
@users = specs.collect { |spec| spec.user }
end
end

Please help me out.

Any help is appreciable.

Thanks
Amir

You dont have a "def paginate " method defined in your controller.
Anyway you’ll probably want to use a pagination gem such as Kaminari,
which
includes all you need for that purpose.

It’s right, but your best approach is to add ‘gem kaminari’ to your
Gemfile
and to use rvm.

I don’t have much experience on rails + windows issues, but I know they
can
be a real pain, so I’d also suggest that you use linux instead for rails
development, in a virtual machine if for some reason you can’t install
linux in your computer.

Don’t use that book - it’s severely outdated and will cause you a lot of
problems. See here for details:
