Use without_count by default

[fmluizao]

Hi,

I'm using v1.2.1, and trying to monkey patch to always use without_count, but no success. I was trying something like this in an initializer:

Kaminari::ActiveRecordRelationMethods.extend(Kaminari::PaginatableWithoutCount)

But it seems that the initialization already happened (page method was created before my patch gets applied).

Any ideas how I can achieve that?

An option to always use without_count would be perfect, but I can live with a small monkey patch 😄

If you want to do pagination without counting make sure that you use the sort order in which the entries are displayed to do the paging. Paging without OFFSET is doable if the only order in which you display entries is done on an always available column in a table. Doing this when developers use a different gem to order (and select) entries to display is much harder than you think.

Maybe it's time to band together with the ransack people and start adding ActiveOrdering to Rails to make that happen?
