Hi, I don’t speak English very well, and I have a problem, with the gem  
mislav-will-paginate I install perfect, the las version 2.3.11 and I did  
the example

[http://dev.nozav.org/rails\_ajax\_table.html](http://dev.nozav.org/rails_ajax_table.html) and I copy all!!

My problem is this:

NoMethodError in ItemController#list  
undefined method `paginate’ for #ItemController:0x53dd614

None

Show session dump

* * *

Response  
Headers:

{“Content-Type”=\>“”,  
“Cache-Control”=\>“no-cache”}

I find a lot of information for this error but I don’t know.

The problem is this line in controller:

@items\_pages, @items = paginate :items, :order =\> sort, :conditions =\>  
conditions, :per\_page =\> items\_per\_page

Rails 2.3.3  
RubyGems 1.8  
Mongrel server

I have install the will-paginate gem an other problably I have problem  
with this??  
Thank you!!!

That tutorial is written for people using classic\_pagination, which is  
not the same as will\_paginate.
