That sounds like two mutually contradictory aims. You could perhaps have a single 'random' page and then a series of paginated by created_at pages. If you absolutely had to present the illusion of the first page being a random selection, you could also fiddle with the page parameter - if it's 1 show a random selection, if it's greater than one subtract 1 and pass that to will_paginate Fred > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
