After some thinking I finally decided to use following code: in controller: @jobseeker_previous = Jobseeker.find :all, :order => 'id DESC', :conditions => ["id < ?",@jobseeker.id], :limit => 1 @jobseeker_next = Jobseeker.find :all, :order => 'id ASC', :conditions => ["id > ?",@jobseeker.id], :limit => 1
in view: <%...@jobseeker_previous.each do |el|%> <%= link_to 'Previous', el %> <% end %> <%...@jobseeker_next.each do |el|%> <%= link_to 'Next', el %> <% end %> I tried few solutions and this one, where I get a collection containing one element, seems to be most convenient for handling first and last record, and is more idiot proof than unnecessarily having to test for nil object. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
