Page 1 without page param

[AnubixXx]

Hi,

is there possibility to change ?page=1 param in will_paginate helper? I explain it, i have the url:
www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts
and pagination is
www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts?page=1
www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts?page=2
www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts?page=3

But page=1 is same as www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts. So there is duplicity because of SEO. In menu I just link to www.mywebsite.com/t-shirts, but pagination helper will_paginate is still redering link to page=1. Is there a way to change to remove page=1 param without routing?

Thanks.

Closing in favor of the linked solution. In short: you can't avoid ?page=1, but you can subclass LinkRenderer and override the URL generation logic in any way you please

will_paginate/lib/will_paginate/view_helpers/action_view.rb

Lines 108 to 119 in ccaba92

	def url(page)
	@base_url_params ||= begin
	url_params = merge_get_params(default_url_params)
	url_params[:only_path] = true
	merge_optional_params(url_params)
	end
	url_params = @base_url_params.dup
	add_current_page_param(url_params, page)
	@template.url_for(url_params)
	end
