Question

I currently have a users page which displays all the reviews that user has written. Each review is displayed as a partial (named _profile) and they are all shown on a page of an accordian. How can I add pagination to these review partials?

users show page

<div class="profile_reviews_container">
  <div id="accordion">
    <h3><a href="#">Reviews written</a></h3>
    <div class="profile_reviews_cont">
      <% @user.reviews.each do |review| %>
        <%= render "reviews/profile", :profile => review %>
      <% end %>
    </div>

    <h3><a href="#">Favourites</a></h3>
    <div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Which controller do I add the .paginate call to and will the view contain <%= will_paginate @reviews %> or <%= will_paginate @profiles %>?

Thanks for any help its much appreciated!

Answer 1

I would paginate the Reviews in the Users#show action. Something like:

@reviews = @user.reviews.paginate page: params[:page]

And then call:

<%= will_paginate @reviews %>

in the view.

I would also change the name of the partial (or create a new one) to reviews/_review so you can just call:

<%= render @reviews %>

But that’s me.
