Feature: total_entries limit
Reported by Travis | February 20th, 2008 @ 07:11 PM | in will_paginate v3.0 ("agnostic")
In doing pagination, sometimes there are 30k pages because of the amount of entries we have. What I would like to do is to be able to specify an entry limit without having to do counts myself.
I am willing to develop this patch if we can come to an agreement on where this should take place. My initial thought is to mimick the per_page paramters. That is allow either @@total_entries_limit or a class method 'total_entries_limit' or as an option passed to paginate, :total_entries_limit.
Any thoughts?

Hey Travis,
Could you start this discussion on the mailing list? I'm interested hearing about the problems of paginating tens of thousands of records, and what your ideas are to improve it. I'm sure other users might be interested as well.
After we understand the problem, I can offer a solution.

I looked all over the documentation and was not able to post a discussion anywhere. Should I create a text file and commit it to subversion? Ha! Just kidding, I'll start the discussion today.
