Well,

While setting up a website today I found a bit of retardation in will_paginate. Aside from poor and complicated documentation and an incredible amount of bloat for what amounts to a very simple kind of website component, I found that will_paginate was linking to /?page= on a page that showed in the url bar as /products, so the link should have been /products?page=. So I looked around for a quick fix, and this is the best I got: Revisited: roll your own pagination links with will_paginate and Rails 3

OH MY GAWD. You have to be shitting me. That is hands down the most retarded thing I have ever seen. So, like the little hack monster that I am, I did it faster and easier with less code. If you want to change the pagination links, you can do it with jQuery.

$('div.pagination a').each(function () {
    var url = $(this).attr('href');
    url = url.replace('/','');
    $(this).attr('href',url);
});

Why? Because ideally, will_paginate shouldn’t give a shit about the url, that’s not its job, that’s my job, its job is to ADD get parameters, and manage what those parameters should be, anything else is retarded.
