similar to: acts_as_ferret and DRb server errors

I'm trying to use trace() on an S4 coerce method, but get the error Error in bindingIsLocked(what, whereM) : no binding for "coerce" What am I doing wrong? Example code follows. (I've googled the R mailing lists for "trace coerce" and "trace bindingisLocked" without finding anything relevant. Perhaps I should re-define the method in terms of an

Dear All, is there a simple way to retain the class attribute of a column, if merging two data.frames? When merging the example data.frames form help(merge) I am unable to keep the class attribute as set before merging (see below). Two columns are assigned new classes before merge (myclass1, myclass2), but after merge the resulting column has class "character". best regards, Heinz

Hi, There is a problem with the way that acts_as_ferret verifies the index is valid. In ensure_index_exists it looks for a file named ''segments''. With the 0.11.0 release of ferret there is no file with this name. On my dummy application I have a ''segments.gen'' and ''segments_2y''. Changing the test to segments.gen fixes the problem that the

I have two objects that are associated in the following way: class Class1 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class2s has_and_belongs_to_many :otherClasses end class Class2 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class1s has_and_bleongs_to_many :otherClasses end Now, when I run the following query, @objects = Class1.find(:all, :conditions

Sorry in advance for the newbie question. Can''t get aaf going and can''t find similarly stuck folks on this forum. I''m running Rails on my local machine in development mode. I installed ferret 0.11.0 gem, and the most recent stable aaf plugin (as of today). I''m having trouble getting the most basic functionality working. In my model Recipe, I have:

When using a remote ferret server, if the ferret server is not running the acts_as_ferret class method will raise an exception. This causes the model class to only be partially defined, and therefore all use of that class in the rails application will explode until the rails process is restarted. This stems from the fact that ensure_index_exists is called on the server just before the

Hi all, I want to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search two model classes (Reviewable and Blog) at a time like @results = Reviewable.multi_search("jemen", [Blog]) and I''m always getting the error You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.map

Inside an iframe, I want the controller to redirect_to to the parent (i.e. target =''_parent''). Any ideas? (Everything I''ve tried- via redirect_to - just keeps it inside the iframe)

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hello, My Ferret integration has gone quite well. I''m now returning all the results I need from two models using "id_multi_search" and combining the results in the view using a couple of partials. Is there any way that I can turn on fuzzy searching? Would fuzzy searching pick up basic spelling mistakes such as "Bnadit" instead of "Bandit" my experience

Hello, I am trying to use the multi_search method, but I keep getting type error on nil objects, I send it [Model1,Model2] and it seems as though the class names keep getting clobbered and turn to nil, somewhere along the multi_index area. I tried to trace what was going on, but I got nothing, also, this only happens when there are actually hits(thank god, most of the time). Perhaps some insight?

I have installet the Ferret gem v. 0.11.6 and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin from svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret I''ve followed the instructions here http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer to set up the server, and put acts_as_ferret :remote => true on one of my models (Ad) I can also start the ferret_server, but when

Is there a ''replace'' method or similar for attchment_fu? For instance, I have an image that is uploaded and stored. Now I want to replace it with a different image. I do not want to do a delete and then new - since I need to keep various attributes associated with the previous image. thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message

Hi, I am having some serious problems with site that''s already live. It is using RoR 1.2, ferret 0.11.6 and most recent acts_as_ferret plugin. Most of the day, site is doing pretty well, is quick and search is reliable. But, at some point, it just "locks" and stops responding, one instance of mongrel after another. At the same time ferret DRb server starts eating lots of CPU.

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could

I am using a javascript to redirect to another action. Is there a way to set the flash [:notice] in the javascript? So when the javascript redirects, the new action/view picks up the flash[:notice]? (I suspect I may have to do something like url?notice=.....) ideas? thanks.

Hi. We''ve had some problems with ferret not being able to load our classes (stack trace below for the curious). I nailed it down to a deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho,

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem update today. I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

While $$ and getElementsByClassName are ridiculously speedy in Firefox (thanks to XPath), I''m finding both functions to be intolerably slow in IE. The page I''m working with has fewer than 1000 elements -- doesn''t seem THAT big -- and it''s still taking upwards of 4 seconds (!) to pick out the right ones. Are there documented problems with particular

Hello folks, I have four models, each with their own separate index. Models = Articles, Blogs, MusicTracks, and MediaFiles I have individual searches within each section of the site working just fine, but I want to have a gloabl search that searches across all of them at the same time and returns the results ordered by score. Here''s how far I am now... def search query =
