The Ramaze paginate does actually use the sequel paginate method if possible, but can also handle arrays. Github is down right now, so I can't point to the exact location, but if you do something like: @books = paginate(Book.select.order(:title)), it will call Book.select.order(:title).paginate and work with that. The Array handling was added after this functionality to provide a common interface to data that is in memory already. Seems like I have to update the documentation to make this clear. -- ^ manveru --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sequel-talk" group.
