Rails - Passing a collection to the layout for will_paginate?

I have my <%= will_paginate %> code block in the layout of my application. I'd like to pass this block different collections depending on what controller/action I'm in. How can I do this?

Solution

  • Ah ... rereading your question I see what you mean.

    I think the easiest way to do this would simply to always use the same variable name, or to set a standard name with the value from your pagination query. 

    # Controller
@collection = Model.paginate

#OR
@entries = Entry.paginate
@collection = @entries


# View:
<%= will_paginate @collection %>
