Ok, first up, I''m a Rails newbie. My site is hosted on godaddy.com
Godaddy has the Ferret GEM installed by default. They do not have
acts_as_ferret installed so I can''t use that.
I''m trying to follow the tutorial on the Ferret wiki
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki
It includes all of the code I need, but it doesn''t tell me where to put
any of it. I have several controllers and models and helpers and I have
no idea where I''m supposed to put the code that creates the index.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Bry

You can copy the acts_as_ferret plugin into the vendor/plugins folder of your rails app. This will allow you to use acts_as_ferret, it should not be installed on the server. Hope that helps.

If you''re following the tutorial on http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/files/TUTORIAL.html, then you can place the code almost anywhere in your app :) I would recommend using the acts_as_ferret plugin, as it is much easier to deal with ferret if you have that plugin installed. You can copy the code in your vendor/plugin directory, just like Ewout said... take a look at the aaf-homepage for further details: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki there is no need for godaddy to install that plugin, it is sufficient, if you include it to your rails folder..

Plugins install to the vendor/plugins directory of your rails app, so you can easily use acts_as_ferret.

Thanks for the info everyone. I tried copying the files to the directory mentioned. Unfortunately when I try to run it, I get the following error: uninitialized constant BooleanClause I did some Google searching and it seems this is due to the fact that godaddy has ferret .9 installed and not the newer version which seems to be required for acts_as_ferret. So I might be back to trying to use ferret all by itself. Bry -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This technique is known as ''freezing'' and is often applied to the Rails framework to make sure everyone in a development team is working with the same version. HTH Andreas

Since I''m using godaddy.com I can''t run any commands, which is how every tutorial tells me how to do it. So what files do I put where? And I don''t have a local development environment, I''m running only on godaddy. Thanks, Bry -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
You should at least be able to run the rails on your local machine. If you are using windows, you can do this with InstantRails, on a mac Locomotive does the job. Once you have rails locally installed, you should install the ferret gem. Then, you can test the rails application you are using (and obviously not developing) on your local machine. Documentation on freezing is available on <http://nubyonrails.com/ articles/2005/12/22/freeze-other-gems-to-rails-lib-directory>, though I don''t think the ferret gem can be frozen, since it includes native code. Can''t you ask the developers of the rails application you are using for help?

I''m a one man shop building my first rails app. I''ll check out the link you sent me and see if that clears anything up. Bry -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
