I noticed a lot of repetition across different Sweeper models in my app expiring the same fragments and so have been trying to move all the expire_fragment calls into another model which the sweepers can then use but it''s not working as I''d hoped.. I''ve created a CacheDestroyer model and want to be able to call something to the effect of:

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you guys a detailed tutorial I just finished this weekend for using Acts_As_Ferret. http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial I started using Ferret and Acts_As_Ferret a few weeks ago, and I learned so much that I wanted to give back to the community by writing up a helpful tutorial that covers all the key topics in one place (Something I wish I would have had when I started u...

...y Guys, This last week on the Rails Envy Podcast we received an "interesting" voicemail. Jason encouraged me to make a remix, and I think you guys will appreciate what resulted. If you have a few minutes and need a good laugh, see here for the voicemail and the remix: http://www.railsenvy.com/2008/7/17/we-aint-got-no-rspec -Gregg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have read the highlighting section at http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial#highlighting It mentions that for highlight to work I must have {:store => :yes}. However it also mentions that only "small" fields should be stored. My question is how small is small enough. I have a site where events information is maintained....

Hey, I''m probably just missing something really obvious but I''ve been stuck on this problem for a while now and I''m not getting anywhere. I have installed the acts_as_ferret gem, as well as ferret according to the tutorial on RailsEnvy. My model, controller, and environment.rb files have all been modified as per that turotial. However any attempts to use the find_by_contents on my model returns 0 results unless I am doing Article.find_by_contents("*"), with Article being my model. Searching for * will return all recor...

...I didn''t notice if topic has already been discussed, but I was wondering if there was a way to make ferret match only part of a search term. My initial thought was some sort of filter, but I''m unsure of where to begin. An example in the comments of the acts_as_ferret tutorial at RailsEnvy (http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial) suggests: To return the widest possible array you?d make everything OR?d and Fuzzy. <pre> <code> @query = params[:search].split(? ?).collect{|term| term + ?~?}.join(? OR ?) </code> </pre> However, the example appe...

Hi, In my view I have the following cache: <%- cache(:controller => ''products'', :action => ''index'', :action_suffix => ''footer'') do -%> ... <%- end -%> And that''s the file generated: tmp/cache/views/www.mysite.com/products.action_suffix=footer.cache Why isn''t fragment caching picking up the :index

Hi, am using this wonderful plugin acts_as_ferret and according to the tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as- ? rial#basic I worked it out except the pagination feature. If I have 12 records and I give limit to 10, its correctly displaying 10 records in the first page and is giving the link to the second page too. But when I go to the next page I find the same 10 records instead of...

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_...

Hi folks - Seeing a weird problem and would love some help. It''s documented in http://pastie.org/278310 to be more readable. In short, I have a caches_page "action", :if => {stuff} but the :if is never being called - the action is just caching every time. (If I put a debugger call in the :if block, it never stops.) If I replace caches_page with caches_action, the if

...t; :reviewable, :with_primary_key => :other_company_id end It would then use the other_company_id to lookup and create reviews. Unfortunately, Rails has no such option. There has to be someone else out there that has run into this limitation. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

...old me to "send them something that would get me hired". After slaving over my resume and putting extra effort into my cover letter (http://tr.im/npLV) I finished yesterday a series of 1 minute videos with many of the top brass in the Rails community, including DHH, Obie, Ryan Bates, the RailsEnvy guys and others.

So now I''m sharing the videos with you all. Hope you''ll enjoy them as much a...

Hi I am trying to use ferret; the regular search works; but when I use the find_storage_by_contents to highlight the results, I am getting the above error. Please help thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Does anyone know how do you get acts_as_ferret to automagically update non-standard fields? I''ve followed Rails Envy''s tutorial (http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial#nonmodel) to get aaf working across different models. And once the index is built it searches fine. In my (main) model, I''ve put: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :name, :notes, :ferret_cat,...
