But seriously—I've given this a thought when I was experiencing
disappointment if the last page had only a few records. But, having a
constant per_page value was good for consistency, so I never really dared to
cheat on my users this way.
It's easy to implement this if anyone wants to try it:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.paginate(options)
result = super
if result.total_pages > 1 and (result.total_entries - result.size)
<= result.per_page/4
result += super(options.merge(:page => result.next_page))
result.paginate(:page => 1, :per_page => result.size)
else
result
end
end
end
