similar to: preventing indexing of an acts_as_ferret''d model?

Hi, I''m using Rails/AAF with Ferret 0.10.11, and my index occasionally (every few weeks, roughly) becomes corrupted. If the index is busted, until I rebuild it our users are unable to save anything. I get errors like the one below, and the save rolls back. My question is, is there any way to catch the error, and continue with the save even if the model isn''t indexed? What

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a

I am getting this issue also... Does anyone know what this is? When will Acts as Ferret be available for v10? Thanks for your help in desperation!

How do I use a model that has "acts_as_ferret" defined outside rails? I''ve tried adding this to the top of my model: require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb" and then defining RAILS_ROOT and RAILS_ENV in my app that uses the model outside rails. That got me this exception:

i''m using Ferret 0.9.0 with acts_as_ferret (the one from svn.jkraemer.net), and i''m getting duplicate results, as described in this thread: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2005-December/000048.html is there a way to configure the indexes created by acts_as_ferret to use :key => :id, as described in that thread? i''ve poked around in the code, and had

I have the following models: class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret belongs_to :author end class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :books end and in the controller: def search if params[:query] @query = params[:query] @total, @books = Book.full_text_search(@query, :page => (params[:page]||1)) @pages =

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard. Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ... But when I try to save a new Person instance I get this error:

We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists. Just got this after wiping the index and redeploying: NoMethodError (undefined method `add'' for Solution:Class): (druby://10.1.65.87:9009) /data/releases/20071111152414/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing''

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

Hi, I saw someone else have this earlier. The recommendation is still to downgrade to 0.11.3? Oct 01 19:56:09 ey01-s00116 rails[3175]: Ferret::FileNotFoundError (File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_contextError occured in fs_store .c:329 - fs_open_input tried to open "/data/zendesk/current/config/../index/production/ticket/_l.cfs" but it

I''m having some problems with getting the drb server to work correctly on my production server. As a workaround I tried disabling automatic indexing and have a cron job manually update the index every hour or so. I disabled the automatic indexing with: def ferret_enabled? false end But whenever I try Page.rebuild_index I get a ''wrong number of arguments''

I have a sellable flag in my database. I''m trying to have ferret only add/update records where sellable == true. What is the best way to do this? I''ve tried editing instance_methods.rb in the AAF, but I still can''t get it to work. Thanks for the help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, Has anyone implemented a credit card processing / merchant account system using Rails? I know that there is a ''payment'' gem that is supposed to integrate with the Authorize.net gateway, but I''m wondering if that is the best (and only) solution out there. Are there any other recommended solutions from Rails programmers out there? Thanks in advance for the

I''m trying to dynamically create an instance of an object at runtime, from a String. I have a method that returns one of a number of Strings ("Car", "Motorcycle", "Bicycle"), and when I receive the String, I then want to instantiate one of those objects. Seems like there should be a way to do it in Ruby, but maybe I''ve been up too long --

Hi, I''m currently learning Ruby on Rails using "Agile Web Development with Rails." I am using RadRails as my development environment. Everything has been going along well, until the end of chapter 7. Just before the end of the chapter, we set up our store pages so that they can be styled with the depot.css stylesheet. This is where I run into my problem. The stylesheet

I have an applicaiton where I''m indexing content in a number of languages, all encoded in UTF8. I would think that having my locale set to en_US.utf8 would be sufficient to make this work in ferret/acts_as_ferret, but I keep running into problems, even with english text. What have others done to cope with these encoding difficulties? -ryan

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I
