I'm trying to change the will_paginate
links from the format of /list?page=1
to /list/page/1
. I have the routes setup right for this, but will_paginate
is using the query string in links rather than my pretty URL style. How to tell it otherwise?
I'm using will_paginate 2.3.16 and Rails 2.3.14.
will_paginate uses the url_for
helper. If you define routes containing the parameters it uses, it should generate pretty urls.
map.connect '/lists/page/:page', :controller => 'lists', :action => 'index'
Please make sure, you define this route above any routes that could also match your controller action. Even better: exclude the index action like this:
map.resources :lists, :except => [:index]
You have several options here:
1st option: monkey patch WillPaginate::ActionView::LinkRenderer#url
, which currently has the following url logic:
def url(page)
@base_url_params ||= begin
url_params = merge_get_params(default_url_params)
merge_optional_params(url_params)
end
url_params = @base_url_params.dup
add_current_page_param(url_params, page)
@template.url_for(url_params)
end
So, I imagine that you can do something like "/list/page/#{page}"
instead.
The other way is to fully implement the renderer (by subclassing WillPaginate::ViewHelpers::LinkRenderer
), and then providing it as :renderer => MyRendererClass
when calling will_paginate.
