Plugins - alphabar
Add to favoritesThis paginator will help you search and display your results based on the first letter of a field.
This will allow you to divide up large result sets in a way that users can predict what will be on the page they click instead of just clicking through pages hoping to get the result they want.

I changed line 76 of alphabar.rb from model.withscope({:find => {:conditions => conditions}}) {model.find :all} to model.send(:withscope, :find => {:conditions => conditions}) {model.find :all} and it worked like a charm.
This didn't want to work for me. Maybe I'm missing something... Anyways, it complains that you are using a protected method (withscope) in my model class when I use alphafind or Alphabar::find. I'll look into this one again later when it is more mature, I guess.
