First of all, if you're not using will_paginate for all of your pagination then you should be. It's well known that the built in pagination in Rails is slow and clunky. will_paginate will easily replace your ActiveRecord pagination, but it can paginate just about anything else.

John Nunemaker's Twitter Plugin makes short work of hooking your app up to the Twitter API. With a few strokes of code you can be pulling statuses down like mad. Now if you want to list a bunch of statuses you'll likely want to have some kind of pagination.

First there's the standard Auth

httpauth = Twitter::HTTPAuth.new(username, password)
client = Twitter::Base.new(httpauth)

Then setup some pagination defaults, and grab some tweets.

current_page = params[:page] || 1
per_page = 100
tweets = client.user_timeline(:count => per_page, :page => current_page)

Then just wrap the paginator around your collection and the deed is done.

if !tweets.empty?
  @tweets = WillPaginate::Collection.create(current_page, per_page, tweets.first.user.statuses_count) do |pager|
    pager.replace(tweets)
  end
end

Finally, insert the pagination links in the view.

<%= will_paginate @tweets %>

That's it. A marriage of two great plugins indeed.

This is the second pair of <a href="web link on sale</a> I purchased in the last two years! My daughter wore them almost everyday right up until the spring. These boots look good with both pants and skirts and come in a number of colors. It is worth it to waterproof them if you intend to wear them on rainy or slushy days. Spots can be easily removed with a little white vinager and cold water!

Remember the scene from the film BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID with lovely actress Katharine Ross <a href="web link on sale</a> on the handle bars of Paul Newman's bicycle while "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" plays in the background? Most people familiar with that movie know that Newman was playing real life legendary robber Butch Cassidy and that Robert Redford (who does not appear in that scene) plays his equally real partner in crime 。

Ordered a size 7, meant to order 6, they returned the <a href="web link on sale</a> no problem and sent out the adjusted size in a timely matter. Good service. Would buy from them again
I bought these <a href="web link on sale</a> in a light pink in the summer and I haven't taken them off since. They are versitile, comfortable, warm and ideal for walking long distances and shopping.
Just before buying them I'd been wearing strappy sandles and heals for 10-14 hours/day. After showing up for a peddicure with scabs and scars all over my poor feet, my nail lady told me to try some <a href="web link on sale</a>. So I did. My feet have healed, they are well insulated and stay moisturized because of the thick lining.

I received a pair of <a href="web link on sale</a> for Christmas and after only wearing them sporadically (and never really in wet weather) for little more than a year, a hole developed in one boot.

we know <a href="web link Smith</a> has an ability to anticipate and even spark off trends, not only in fashion, but in the wider context of popular culture.
