total_pages return in pagination with rails and kaminari

Answer 1

I had a similar issue, it was because the commontator gem was bringing in methods from will_paginate and overriding the base ActiveRecord class.

The error was in the call stack for the page_entries_info method which seems to be a common method name between both libraries.

To fix, you can explicitly reference the method with this:

So the view code:

<%= Kaminari::Helpers::HelperMethods.page_entries_info @events %>
<%= link_to "Next", path_to_next_page(@events) %>
<%= link_to "Prev", path_to_prev_page(@events) %>

and in an initializer (initializers/kaminari_config.rb)

module Kaminari
  module Helpers
    module HelperMethods
      extend ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper
      module_function :page_entries_info
    end
  end
end
