I am having trouble getting the paginator helper to pass on other parameters other than the page= stuff to the url. It works if I manually add "&searchwords=foxes" to the url, so the actual pagination implentation is straight. What is the syntax i should have in (I assume) the view? view: <%= @nasb_pager.basic_html(self,2,''searchwords'') %> controller: def searchresults searchwords = @params[''searchwords''] @nasb_pager = Paginator.new self,Nasb.find_all(["MATCH (text) AGAINST(?)",searchwords]).length,30, @params[''page''] @main = Nasb.find_all(["MATCH (text) AGAINST(?)", searchwords ], "test,number,id",@nasb_pager.current.to_sql)
