will-paginate

So, when using Sphinx searches are limited to 1000 results. But, if there are more than 1000 results pagination links generated by will_paginate don't take this into account, and provide links to pages beyond 1000/per_page . Is the an obvious way setting a max pages or something similar? Cheers. I think it's better to submit the parameter :total_entries to method paginate : @posts = Post.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 30, :total_entries => 1000) will_paginate will generate links only for the number of pages needed to show 1000 results. You can also verify that the requested page

I have a database of movies with attributes. I'd like to return a queried batch of those movies in random order to a template with pagination. I'm using will_paginate.

Solutions to this problem have been posted here and here . Those links explain that, because the random() seed is

I'm encountering a problem with will_paginate while doing a complex find. :photo has_many :tags, :through => :tagships :item has_many :photos :photo belongs_to :item @photos = @item.photos.paginate :page => params[:page], :per_page => 200, :conditions => [ 'tags.id IN (?)', tag_ids], :order => 'created_at DESC', :joins => :tags, :group => "photos.id HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT tags.id) = #{tag_count}" I want to fetch all the photos who have all the tags in the tag_ids array. MySQL's IN usually does "or" searches, but I need "and". I found how to modify IN to mimic "and" behavior here and it works
