Rails - Mar 2006 - Pagination and custom routing

Hello all, I''m new to RoR but loving leanrning it and wish i''d
found it
earlier instead of spending so much time with PHP.

I have a problem with a custom routing and pagination... In my 
application, users can save their favourite bookmarks, and can view each 
others favourites. I have set up rooting so they can do this easily by 
the URL www.mysite.com/username using the following route -

map.connect '':username'', :controller =>
''links'', :action => ''per_user''

This works fine and sends them to the correct controller, links, where 
the action per_user paginates a list of bookmarks depending on the 
username defined by :username in the map.connect above.

The action that generates the pages looks like this -

user = User.find_by_login(@params[:username])
@bookmark_pages, @bookmarks = paginate(:bookmarks, :conditions => 
[''user_id = ?'', user.id])

The first page of results works fine, i can type www.mysite.com/dave for 
instance, and i recieve the first page of my bookmarks.

The problem is with the rest of the pages, the link to page 2 appears as 
-

www.mysite.com/links/per_user?page=2

where i''d like it to be

www.mysite.com/dave?page=2

Is this a problem with my routing, I can''t seem to figure this one out,
any help at all appreciated, thanks in advance.

Just sorted it, it was the order of the route mapping in routes.rb.
I had my custom route below the default :controller/:action/:id , so it 
seems when paginate was generating the links this map was catching it 
first. I just moved my route above this and paginate generates the URLs 
as required.
