Hello,

I have pagination set up on my controller.  
View template list.html and def list end on the controller. :per-page =  
20

Browsing the template works, pagination page selector updates  
appropriately to the page= url parameter, but the records retrieved are  
always the first 20 records of the entire table. It doesn't offset for  
each paginated page?

class ExcelCommissionController \< ApplicationController  
&nbsp;&nbsp;model :excel\_commission  
&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;paginate :excel\_commissions, :order\_by =\> 'file\_name, row\_id',  
&nbsp;&nbsp;:per\_page =\> 20

&nbsp;&nbsp;def list
