Thanks Walter, it would certainly miss some of the items, but what you are saying to have separate route for random and for pagination is may be possible but right now i do not understand how to implement this, but i will try to do it and if u can elaborate it further with example then it would be helpful for me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
