I have successfully set up an ajax pagination with Kaminari.
In order to add a sort feature I followed this great Railscast and replaced will_paginate by Kaminari.
The pagination works great but the sort works just the first time because the sort_column and the sort _direction are not updated.
I can't figure out why.
Here is my code :
Controller :
def index
@questions = Question.order(sort_column + " " + sort_direction).page(params[:page])
end
....
private
def sort_column
Question.column_names.include?(params[:sort]) ? params[:sort] : "created_at"
end
def sort_direction
%w[asc desc].include?(params[:direction]) ? params[:direction] : "desc"
end
I have added :remote => true, :method => :get to
ApplicationHelper :
def sortable(title = nil, column)
title ||= column.titleize
direction = column == sort_column && sort_direction == "asc" ? "desc" : "asc"
link_to title, params.merge(:sort => column, :direction => direction), :remote => true, :method => :get
end
index.html.erb :
<%= sortable "created_at" %><br/>
<div id="questions"><%= render @questions %></div>
<div id="paginator"><%= paginate @questions, :remote => true %>
index.js.erb :
$('#questions').html('<%= escape_javascript(render @questions) %>');
$('#paginator').html('<%= escape_javascript(paginate(@questions, :remote => true).to_s) %>');
Is this a problem with the :remote => true, :method => :get part ? If I remove it the sort works but without ajax.
