Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::render() - laravel

Question

Question like this are asked, i have searched a lot but found nothing which works for me.
Here is Controller function:
public function showHomePage() {
$communities = Community::all();
$ideas = Idea::paginate(8);
return view('publicPages.index', compact(['communities', 'ideas']));
}
Now the paginate method is working but when in view i call the method stated in documentation Docs
{!! $idea->render() !!}
It generates following error
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::render()
I have also tried {!! $idea->render() !!} but the issue is same. Tried this also $ideas = DB::table('ideas')->paginate(8);
Here is view :
#foreach($ideas as $idea)
<div class="lst-popular-project clearfix">
<div class="grid_3">
<div class="project-short sml-thumb">
<div class="top-project-info">
<div class="content-info-short clearfix">
<a href="{{URL::to('showidea', array($idea->id))}}" class="thumb-img">
<img src="{{asset($idea->idea_image)}}" alt="$TITLE">
</a>
<div class="wrap-short-detail">
<h3 class="rs acticle-title">
<a class="be-fc-orange" href="project">
{{$idea->idea_title}}
</a>
</h3>
<p class="rs tiny-desc">
by
<a href="profile.html" class="fw-b fc-gray be-fc-orange">
{{$idea->User->name}}
</a>
</p>
<p class="rs title-description">
{{$idea->idea_info}}
</p>
<p class="rs project-location">
<i class="icon iLocation"></i>
{{$idea->idea_location}}
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#endforeach

Answer 1

you must replace
{!! $idea->render() !!}
with
{!! $ideas->render() !!}
$ideas variable contains from,total,page etc

Answer 2

I guess it shoule be $ideas:
{!! $ideas->render() !!}
