Rails - Feb 2006 - Pagination help/how to

Hello,

  I want to know how can I paginate a set of records. It seems
there is no direct way of doing this, and I am not able to understand the
documentation of paginate, so any pointers on how to do this will be much
appreciated. 

To be specific what I want is that the records returned by user.recipes, the
recipes of the particular user be paginated.

My attempt to do this failed because paginate expects a constant and not set
of records.

@recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate( user.recipes, :per_page => 10) 

Thanks for your help.

something like this...

@recipe_pages, @recipes = paginate(
  :recipes,
  :order =>  ''user'',
  :per_page => 10) 

but I wonder if user is a field within your recipes table. If so, that
should work.
