Rails - Jun 2007 - Help With Loop please

New to rails! Thanks for reading

I have a database that stores link URL''s and their names in one
table.


DB Table is named:  links

Model name : Link

Controller: admin


Links are stored in the "link_url" column
Their names are stored in the "title" column
They all are assigned an ID on auto increment.

What I want to do is display 10 links at a time out of (50+ links)
And be able to rotate the links on a weekly basis, and display that in
a partial.

Can anyone help me with this timed loop to display 10 links at a time
from my db?  Or refer me to a chapter in a rails book.  Thanks!

This is the default code to display them all.

<% for link in @links -%>
<div class="linkss"">
    <a href="<%= link.link_url %>"/><%= h(link.title)
%></a>
</div>
<% end %>

How about selecting a range based on the day of month (so you can show
a different subset of @links based on what week of the month you''re
in).

Something like:

case Time.now.day
when 1..7
  range = 0..10
when 8..14
  range = 11..20
when 15..21
  range = 21..30
else
  range = 31..50
end

<% @links[range].each do |link| %>
