I''ve read the Rails Envy AAF tutorial at
http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial and its given me
some really good ideas.
My problem lies in having AAF search the target Model''s child tables.
I have no problem at all doing something like:
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :update_collection, :member_name]
def member_name
return "#{self.member.username}"
end
However when I try to query child tables like such...
def update_collection
self.place_updates.collect { |update| update.description }.join
'' ''
end
I have no luck.
I know the method is working because if I do something like
raise Model.find(5).update_collection.inspect it returns a string with
all descriptions.
Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help!
Dave

I would really appreciate any help!most probably the collection isn''t there yet when aaf indexes your record. Have a look at your log file to see what value aaf gets from your method when it calls it. cheers, Jens -- Jens Kr?mer webit!

I tried looking in my development.log file (140 gigs and counting!) and its showing nothing. I deleted my indexes and restarted the server and it picked up the keywords I was searching for... however this is my problem. Once I edit one of the records and remove a keyword, or add a keyword, its not reflected in the index I guess? Is this normal? Is it possible to have it act as a live search? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How does your test code for adding a keyword and saving the record look like?> Is this normal? Is it possible to have it act as a live search?What do you mean by ''live search''? Search-as-you-type is no problem, but this hasn''t to do much with indexing... Cheers, Jens -- Jens Kr?mer webit!
