similar to: Problem with installing acts_as_ferret plugin

I have a win xp box running instant rails. I installed ferret (the win version) and acts_as_ferret seemingly succesfully. I then added "require ''acts_as_ferret''" to the environment.rb file of my project. However, I cannot get webrick/mongrel to start. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

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.

Hi I am using acts_as_ferret and it works great on inidvidual models. Like I can search seperately for fileds indexed in BasicProfile model and fields indexed in WorkProfile model.

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

Hi, I have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

Hi all, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a

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

Hello, I have been trying to set up the remote indexing for acts_as_ferret and followed the guide here: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer I added :remote => true to my models and then specified host and port for the production environment. After defining the host/port for production, I tried to run my development server and received the following error:

Hey all, I''m using acts_as_ferret and globalize. I stumbled upon that post on google: http://osdir.com/ml/lang.ruby.ferret.general/2007-01/msg00068.html does anybody know if it''s included in the latest a_a_f or if it''s planed to be? I can''t seem to find anything about it. thanx in advance Pat

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search across multiple models, but i only want it to return one type of model. for example i have a page that lists out people. on this page it shows email addresses and phone numbers. I want to be able to search by any fields directly from the person model and search the fields from the email_address and phone_number models, but I only

is it possible to write a custom sort routine for ferret? I use ferret right now to index all my products. One of the variables in these product documents is the product popularity, where 1 = best selling production, 2 = 2nd best, etc.. Right now, I''m just sorting by the popularity column in my search results, although this doesn''t always provide "good" results,

Hello list, I wonder if someone has some tips on joining a ferret search with a database. I have a rails project using a postgresql backend and I would like to utilize the superb performance of ferret for fulltext searching. The problem is that I have to joined the result with the database as I have some user access rights to different documents to take into account. Does anyone have

Hi folks! Just wanted to let you know that I released aaf 0.4.0 on last weekend. Besides the DRb server it also includes a new lazy loading feature that lets you do ferret searches without actually loading any records from the DB. Useful e.g. for live searches: model: class MyModel acts_as_ferret :fields => { :title => { :store => :yes }, :content => {} } end controller:

I''m having problems getting the DRb server running with the aaf gem. I tried it with the plugin installed in my application, and it worked. I suspect the problem has something to do with the startup scripts expecting certain files to be in certain relative file paths. Any insights are appreciated, and maybe if you have time you can update the wiki document :) Thanks for a great

So my ferret behaves nicely in dev mode, but I just deployed and now he is not happy! First thing I noticed was that in general my app would not start with a folder called "development" in my index folder, so I changed it to "production" and now my app is functioning. However, when I try to search I get errors, which you can see here: http://pastie.caboo.se/61767 Im
