Hi, I have just installed will_paginate plugin and got it working OK. Excuse me if this is a very obvious question but how do you get access to the total record count from all pages. ie I want to display "nnn matching records"... followed by the <%will_paginate @records %> With the old rails pagination I am using count_collection_for_pagination which I always thought was a bit tacky.

Use the count method in AR, ex: User.countRails api docs is a good reference.

Surely the will_paginate plugin must have its own count? I could easily do a count on the database but that is an extra call that presumably the will_paginate has already done? G.

Looking through the tests in will_paginate plugin, I think you can use the
size method.
def test_simple_paginate
entries = Topic.paginate :page => nil
assert_equal 1, entries.current_page
assert_nil entries.previous_page
assert_nil entries.next_page
assert_equal 1, entries.page_count
assert_equal 4, entries.size
entries = Topic.paginate :page => 2
assert_equal 2, entries.current_page
assert_equal 1, entries.previous_page
assert_equal 1, entries.page_count
assert entries.empty?
# :page parameter in options is required!
assert_raise(ArgumentError){ Topic.paginate }
assert_raise(ArgumentError){ Topic.paginate({}) }
end
Enjoy!

Try using the total_entries method @posts = Post.paginate_by_board_id @board.id, :page => params[:page], :order => ''updated_at DESC'' total_records = @posts.total_entries On Feb 11, 9:01 pm, giorgio <george.pever...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Surely thewill_paginateplugin must have its own count? > I could easily do a count on the database but that is an extra call > that presumably thewill_paginatehas already done? > > G. > > On Feb 12, 2:31 pm, "Bala Paranj" <bcpar...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Use the count method in AR, ex: User.countRails api docs is a good > > reference. > > > On Feb 11, 2008 5:08 PM, giorgio <george.pever...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > Excuse me if this is a very obvious question but how do you get access > > > to thetotalrecord count from all pages. > > > > ie I want to display "nnn matchingrecords"... followed by the <%> > >will_paginate@records%> > > > --http://www.rubyplus.org/ > > Free Ruby and Rails Screencasts--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
