will_paginate without use of activerecord
- by truthSeekr
I apologize if this is a trivial question or my understanding of rails is weak.
I have 2 actions in my controller, index and refine_data.
index fetches and displays all the data from a database table.
refine_data weeds out unwanted data using regex and returns a subset of the data.
Controller looks like:
def index
Result.paginate :per_page => 5, :page => params[:page], :order => 'created_at DESC'
end
def refine_data
results = Result.all
new_results = get_subset(results)
redirect_to :action => 'index'
end
I would like to redirect the refine_data action to the same view (index) with new_results.
As new_results are not from the database table (or model), how do I go about constructing my paginate?
