similar to: Linking to the paginated items from search results.

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The acts_as_ferret documentation says find_by_content returns an instance of SearchResults, but I see this error when I try to use the results. undefined method `total_hits'' for []:Array Here is the link to the documentation: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/FerretMixin/Acts/ARFerret/ClassMethods.html#M000010 But here is the actual code: result =

I am getting strange results when I reverse sort a query. I am sorting by date, but it doesn''t seem to be related to dates (I have tried just integers). I also paginate the results. Items in the result set are sometimes duplicated and the not ordered at all. When I try a non-reverse sort I don''t see duplicates and the ordering is correct. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks

Hello All, Okay i think I''m finally getting all of what i want out of ferret working, thanks mostly to reading this forum and also getting ALOT of questions answered, thanks alot everyone. Anyway my last ferret task is too get the results sorted by a field called date_registered and have this working with pagination. here is what i''m doing at the moment:

Hi David again. I would say that Ferret works great with Rails. And now I am trying to create pagination. Because site could have millions of documents I need to create on page link something like "Page #100". Rather usual situation. But to create this links I need to know how many documents Ferret found in index. For now I am doing it with following code index =

Hi Dave, I am using ferret at my site http://gifthat.com and I just had a few exceptions pop up. I don''t have a way to reproduce them, but my site just was listed on lifehacker.com and these issues have popped up under multiple concurrent users (only twice though which I think isn''t too bad). I am using two lighttpd instances both with read/write access to the index: 1) Error

I''m trying to generate a rails pagination helper for some ferret search results, and I need to know how many total matches there are to my search query. I don''t see an obvious way of finding this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl Youngblood

Hi Guys, I am trying to paginate the results from a search. When I use actual constants in the search conditions, it works fine: def query @k2_result_pages, @k2_results = paginate (:k2_results, :conditions => [''e_date >= ? AND e_date <= ?'', ''2006-07-12'', ''2006-08-12''],

Hi all, I''m trying to figure out how to add a filter into a search. I''ve created the filter, basically copying the location filter from http://blog.tourb.us/archives/ferret-and-location-based-searches. But when I try to call Index.search and pass the filter in a hash with the key :filter, I get back that it is expecting type Data, and so I''m at a loss to figure out

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

Hi i have a column in my ferret model called sponsored. It is a boolean and i want to order the results by sponsored and date registered. At the moment it is not managing to sort the booleans. I tried declaring this in my model but it seems to have had no effect. def false.<=>(o) o ? -1 : 0 end def true.<=>(o) !o ? 1 : 0 end I''m using the acts_as_ferret plugin. below

Hi, I seem to be having trouble getting more than 10 hits from Index#search_each since upgrading to 0.10.2 (ie, this was working in 0.9.4). Maybe a bug, as the #search_each doesn''t seem to use the options parameter any more ? Thanks, Neville =========================================== require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' p Ferret::VERSION idx =

Hi, I have some code to rebuild my ferret indexes but occasionally some stale documents remain in the index even after rebuilding. The only way I could find around this is to manually delete the index files from the filesystem. Here is the code I have for rebuilding one of my indexes for Gifts: # delete existing entries INDEX.size.times {|i| INDEX.delete(i)} gifts =

Hi, I am changing a very standard old school website to rails. When I make the change to rails, all of the old urls will not be valid. If a person has a bookmark to an old web page I would like them to be directed to the front page of the new website www.domain.com. How do I do this? Do I do something in routes.rb? Thanks, Peter

I am trying to do a simple search by product name. The first page returns fine, but when I try to go to any other pages of the search results, I lose the original search parameters from my search form and get NilClass errors. Here is the code in my controller: namesearch = "%" + params[:name].strip + "%" @product_pages, @products = paginate :product,

Hey all, After dabbling with ActiveSearch, we''re coming back around to take another look at Ferret. ActiveSearch slowed to a crawl after indexing about 20k documents, each 20 lines each. This time we may attempt to create multiple Ferret indexes (isolating each organization''s data individually), since we eventually could have upwards of 20k documents for some

I''m using a legacy table, where the unique id is not ''id'' I have a Model class like the following: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "ARTICLE_ID" end however, using a link_to like the following (modified scaffolding), the link has no id value: <% for article in @articles %> <tr> <% for column in

Hi. I copied the layout-example from agile web dev. in rails.

The document describes search(query, options) sort: An array of SortFields describing how to sort the results. I have created index with two fields: ''file'' and ''content'' When I give SortField name as ''file'' while searching, it results into error. The exact command given by me: index.search_each("sleepless AND dreams", :num_docs

I have a route that depends on a username being passed in the URL, such as: map.connect '':username'', :controller => ''user'', :action => ''show'' Is there a way to perform a lookup of the username before matching on this route?
