So I want to use will_paginate plugin two times on one page. My problem is that when I click next on one of the paginations (@articles pagination), it also goes to the next page on my other pagination (@comments pagination).
<div class="row">
<div class="span6">
<h3>Posted Articles (<%= @articles.count %>)</h3>
<ol class="user_articles">
<% @articles.each do |article| %>
<li>
<span class="content"><%= link_to article.title, article.content %></span>
<span class="timestamp">
Posted <%= time_ago_in_words(article.created_at) %> ago to <%= article.article_type %>.
</span>
<div>
<% if current_user?(article.user) %>
<%= link_to "delete", article, method: :delete,
data: { confirm: "You sure?" },
title: article.title %>
<% end %>
</div>
</li>
<% end %>
</ol>
<%= will_paginate @articles %>
</div>
<div class="span6">
<h3>Comments (<%= @comments.count %>)</h3>
<ol class="user_comments">
<% @comments.each do |comment| %>
<li>
<span class="content"><%= comment.content %></span>
<span class="timestamp">
Posted <%= time_ago_in_words(comment.created_at) %> ago to <%= link_to Article.find_by_id(comment.article_id).title, Article.find_by_id(comment.article_id) %>.
</span>
<div>
<% if current_user?(comment.user) %>
<%= link_to "delete", comment, method: :delete,
data: { confirm: "You sure?" },
title: comment.content %>
<% end %>
</div>
</li>
<% end %>
</ol>
<%= will_paginate @comments %>
</div>
</div>
I understand you can specify a :param_name option to tell will_paginate the name of the parameter to use for the page number, but I have no clue what :param_name I should use in order for it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
Here is my user controller for the view:
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@comments = @user.comments.paginate(page: params[:page], :per_page => 20)
@articles = @user.articles.paginate(page: params[:page], :per_page => 20)
end
Your :param_name
should be something like :articles_page
and :comments_page
, specified on each of the pagination statements.
