Hi all,

I’m having a bit of a problem with displaying a blog list using the  
will\_paginate helper. My code is:

entries\_controller:

def index  
@entries = Entry.find(:all)  
@blog\_entries = @entries.paginate( :page =\> params[:page], :per\_page =\>  
4,  
:include =\> :user,  
:order =\> ‘topics.updated\_at  
DESC’)  
end

Basically I am trying to display a blog index which is the contents of  
the Entry table. In my index view I have:

\<%= will\_paginate @blog\_entries %\>

But nothing happens when I add more than 4 blog entries. Where am I  
going wrong?

Thanks

Stephen

I guess this is what you’re trying to do:

def index  
@blog\_entries = Entry.paginate( :page =\> params[:page], :per\_page  
=\> 4, :include =\> :user, :order =\> 'topics.updated\_at )  
end
