I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

I''ve searched and searched and searched again, and I cannot find any help with this problem. There''s an identical problem on this forum, but it was never resolved. I''ll try to re-open the subject with a bit more information. Problem: The form_remote_tag() method in my "list" view is not passing the params[] hash of the values stored within my form.

I am sitting with the Agile book on my desk and scratching my head at the discussion on aggregation - perhaps that isn''t what I need. I have a db called clients. fields include - first_name middle_initial last_name I want to combine them all into one name element in a list view. I can add/edit the fields separately but in the list view, I only want the one combo field. Is there a

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

Hi! I faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

I''ve got a form with inputs like user[first_name], user[last_name], etc. When editing the user instead of creating a new one I include a user[id]. I then try and save the object using: user = User.new(params[:user]) user.save() I would *expect* that since I included the user[id] it should do an update and should call validate_on_update. But this doesn''t appear to be the

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

I just ran across a weird glitch (IMHO) in find_or_create. The arguments passed to it are *not* added to the conditions for the ''first'' part. This is odd, given that it''s intended to replace find_or_create_by_* methods, which *did* use the specified values as conditions. I''m unsure on whether this behavior is entirely undesirable, but it''s definitely

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

I have a Person model with attributes first_name and last_name. I want to implement autocomplete search that looks that the entire name. Hence I have a method: def full_name self.first_name + " " + self.last_name end Is it possible for me to query on full_name and have rails match the first_name and last_name fields? I currently receive this error when I try, because full_name

I am working on writing a search method where a user can type a string of words and I return all the objects that have fields that match all of the words in one or a combination of fields. Person first_name last_name Pet name Person has_many :pets I want to write some SQL so that if I search for "Tony AAAA" I will get all the people who have Tony and AAA either in their

Trying to use Eric''s help and Amy Hoy''s page of playing with auto_complete and decided that the script/console is the place to rapidly test. I have this feeling that CONCAT isn''t working for postgresql... c = find_by_sql(SELECT * FROM clients WHERE CONCAT (first_name,middle_initial,last_name) = "johnadams") ^ (irb):61:

Hi all, Is there a way to have searches no use some indexed fields, when processing a query? context: I have a model Foo that holds some information in two languages : - text1_nl, text2_nl, text3_nl and - text1_en, text2_en, text3_en Some other fields are common to both languages and indexed as well - first_name, last_name Depending on the visitor language choice I need to exclude the

I''m trying to create a form where a collection is created, using the example from the Rails 0.9.5 weblog posting: http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/01/26/rails-095-a-world-of- fixes-and-tweaks/ I''m having a bit of trouble. The controller currently looks like this: class StudentController < ApplicationController def new render_text @params.inspect

I''m trying to implement a basic name search on a People table with separate first_name and last_name columns. I am using the will_paginate plugin and have the following search method in the model: def self.search(search, page) paginate :page => page, :conditions => ["lower(last_name) like ? or lower(first_name) like ?",

Hello, I am writing a RoR application that connects to a couchDB database using couchrest_model. The definition of my model is the following one: class BdsDataAuthor < CouchRest::Model::Base property :id, Integer property :first_name, String property :last_name, String end I would like to be able to get the list of the model columns, e.g., the result of BdsDataAuthor.columns would be

Hi all, After working on my first rails app and having handed over some very sophisticated coding from a lot of you guys. My app does what I want it to do, but I''m no where near the end yet, and it seems that the KISS and DRY objectives already went down the drain. It could be lack of knowledge, only doing Ruby on (and) Rails for a month, but I''m stuck on the following:

could anyone tell me why this doesn''t work??? <%= select(:schedule, :employee_name, Employee.find(:all, :order => ''last_name ASC'').collect {|p| [p.first_name, p.last_name] }, { :include_blank => ''true'' }) %></p> i mean it works half way, only the first name is displayed.. i''ve been at it for a while now.. the answer is
