   Excellent plugin.

   Is there a way to force this to allow pagination for a specific section? I’m using your template and it properly generates mysite.com/section/page/2 links but that doesn’t paginate the section, it pulls up page 2 of everything.

   I should clarify that comment. I think I may have an issue with how my sections are setup. I have every article in my “Home” section which has a path of nothing (so it shows up at mysite.com/). Is this correct?

   When I go to mysite.com/section/page/2 I get exactly the same as mysite.com/page/2 its not filtering to just the section. Though this works for archives without any problem.

   Ideas?

   Hey!

   As far as I understand what you mean this behaviour can be seen here: http://journal.andrewloe.com/computers-and-technology/page/2 Right? Even worse: if you look at the “older posts” link at the bottom of that page you see that it points to http://journal.andrewloe.com/page/3 (and not page 3 of that section)!

   So that’s severely foobared :-/ I vaguely remember that I’ve seen this behaviour myself. I just can’t remember what I’ve done to solve it. (It’s not here on my own blog. See: http://localhost:3000/programming/page/2)

   Hum. Are you sure that you have the latest version of the plugin? I guess I’ve probably forgot to check in my latest fixes or so.

   Please update (or reinstall) the plugin. I’ve just checked in a change that I’ve obviously forgot about.

   My shame. Big sorry for the inconvenience!

   Please email me if that doesn’t fix your problem (don’t forget to restart your server if needed).

   Awesome! It works fantastically now, thank you for your work.

   I spent like 3 hours searching the documentation and then the google group and came up empty handed (no thanks to google thinking I was a bot while searching the group).

   It blew my mind when I noticed that there was no pagination built into Mephisto. I was sure I was missing something till I went to about 20 fully populated Mephisto powered blogs/sites only to realize that if you went to a category that didn’t list everything you were screwed if they didn’t have an Archive section.

   But even if they did have an archive section it meant clicking individual articles and backing out. Not much for for someone browsing through a blog.

   This worked right out of the box. Thanks so much.

   Hey Will, I believe that the decision to omit pagination from Mephisto by default has several negative consequences: not only regarding SEO and spiders but also humans who simply searching for a specific article. (This once drove me crazy on Jamis Buck’s blog.)

   Finally, sanity! Thank you, Sven.

   Sven, does this work on Mephisto trunk? I’ve tried it (rev 2920) and it throws an exception on line 20 with NameError (uninitialized constant ActionController::Pagination).

   It does work with an older installation of Mephisto (rev 2561) that I have.

10. zerohalo said August 4th, 2007 at 11:42 PM  ¶

    PS. Sorry, I should have dug around a bit more before posting that last note.

    The problem is not with a change in the Mephisto trunk, but rather in Rails edge, which the latest Mephisto pulls in. ActionController::Pagination is no more (I had heard they were going to pull it from Rails and have it as a plugin). I couldn’t find the new pagination plugin, but maybe it’s yet to come.

11. Sven said August 11th, 2007 at 06:31 PM  ¶

    zerohalo, thanks for tracking that down.

    Actually I haven’t even noticed that change as I’ve frozen my Mephisto/Rails installation and haven’t touched it for the last two months or so.

    Please let me know if you find a solution for this. I’ll want to update the plugin accordingly of course.

    Would it be possible to expand this plugin to support paged tag pages. If I understood correctly now it pages only sections.

    Thanks for great plugin!

13. Sven said August 23rd, 2007 at 11:12 PM  ¶

    Mika,

    this should be possible, yes. I vaguely recall that there’s been some Mephisto bug with tags and tag pages. I promise I’ll have a look at it within the next days. Thanks for the hint!

14. Sven said September 7th, 2007 at 08:17 PM  ¶

    Hey Mika,

    I just wanted to drop you the note that the current version in SVN will page your tag pages. You’ll need to switch to Mephisto Edge though … which hopefully won’t be an issue for you. Otherwise just contact me by mail. I guess that functionality can be backported easily.

    Hi Sven, I love the plugin. I just got it setup on my blog. I noticed that the main pagination call doesn’t limit the dataset to published articles. Just a heads up, I’ve fixed it on my end. Thanks for the plugin.

16. Sven said September 11th, 2007 at 12:33 PM  ¶

    Hey Mark,

    thanks for the heads up! That’s fixed. I would have never noticed that myself as the unpublished articles were sorted to the very end of the paged lists.

    On a sidenote: are you fine with these pagination links (“older/newer posts”) as they are? Otherwise I’d suggest to float these links to the left and right side … something like this:

    .next {
        float: left;
    }
    .prev {
        float: right;
    }

    thanks for that headsup. That’s a useful tip! I’ve never ran into that, but for sure that’s something quite some people will need a solution for. cheap vps

    I assumption we’ve ample that in clandestine email by now, but to accept the acknowledgment here, pass4sure 70-401 too, the botheration was that ngix didn’t advanced requests for JS and CSS files to Rails at all. pass4sure 70-403 By either alteration the ngix conf or application the /bundles avenue things should work. pass4sure 70-441 For those accepting issues with errors occuring during migrations, I’m not abiding what the affair is. pass4sure 70-445 I’ve been application the plugin for ages now while application migrations and accept never apparent an error.

    The following fix helped with mephisto:

    The following cleaned up the issue:

    Dependencies.loadoncepaths -= Dependencies.loadoncepaths.select{|path| \ path =~ %r(^#{File.dirname(FILE)}) }

    I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
