similar to: prevent index auto update

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

I''m hoping someone has encountered this before. I''m using AAF trunk and trying to multi_search across 2 models. It works fine on my windows (Webricks) dev env but now that i''ve deployed to linux, (Apache, FastCGI) I''m getting the following error: ArgumentError ( isn''t a valid directory argument. You should use either a String or a Directory):

I''m having a weird problem. Recently, on all my environments, one of my two indexed models is not returning any results to acts_as_ferret. However, the folder is being created for it and Im not receiving any errors. On my two models, I call the following: Book.rebuild_index User.rebuild_index When I call those commands through either my live app "ruby script/server" or

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/.

hi! short question about aaf: is there a builtin functionality in acts_as_ferret to exclude records from being indexed when for example a column "is_deleted" / "is_disabled" / "dont_index" has a certain value? regards neongrau -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 am looking at trying to use ferret/aaf to supplement my querying against a medium and large table with lots of columns. Some facts first: Ferret 0.11.4 AAF 0.4.0 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 1.2.3 Medium table: 105,464 rows 168 columns (mostly varchar(20)) 11 actual columns indexed in aaf plus 40 virtual columns indexed in aaf (virtual is concat of two physical columns. e.g. cast_first_name_1 +

Does anyone know how to make a model connect to a remote database and only for that specific model? That way I can do the typical CRUD functions on a remote server? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hello, Im using the following amazon web service API for S3 : http://amazon.rubyforge.org/ The problem is that after I establish a connection using establish_connection!, and try using the "store" command, I keep getting the following error. However, if I reboot my webrick server, it works fine for about one hour and then starts throwing this error: Errno::EINVAL in

If I disable ferret in my environment file and then run a cron job every hour to index the records that have been added/changed, do I enable Ferret just in the script that does the hourly indexing? Or do I somehow need to tell the process that runs the Ferret DRB server that it should start writing to the index again? Thanks in advance. Erik

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

I know this is probably stupidly simple, but I can''t seem to figure it out. I have a many-to-many association using HABTM. Im trying to clear all the stuff in the join table and call destroy on all the joined items. For example if I have a many to many for albums and photos, def method album=Album.find(4) album.photos.clear # NOW HOW DO I DESTROY ALL THOSE PHOTOS? end The things I

In my environment.rb I say the following: MyModel.disable_ferret puts MyModel.ferret_enabled? The console works as expected: script/console false >> MyModel.ferret_enabled? => false I can then edit an instance, ferret remains disabled and the changes are not immediately indexed. However, when I start mongrel Ferret is initially disabled, but then somehow becomes enabled again

Hi, Following problem: We have a tree structure with children and a root element (recursivly) stored in one table (imagine a threaded forum). Each of the children has a title which should be indexed by ferret. Now we want to make a search that returns only the root and searches all items. So if one node has "expensive" and nother node has "car" I want to enter

The documentation* states that when using a single index for multiple models, the default_field list should be set to the same thing for all models. However, in my application, all my models have very different fields and this is not possible. I still want the results returned sorted by term frequency across all indexed content in each model. What is the purpose of default_field? Under

Hi, I''m using acts_as_ferret in with a mongrel and I'' m getting locking errors that after a while result in a corrupt database. I know about the problem with different processes writing to the index but I haven''t been able to get the DRB server working properly yet. I read on this list that another solution is to set :auto_flush to true but I''m not

hi, ive been reading up on ferret, acts_as_ferret, and other search plugins for rails. after reading about ferret, i found out about the acts_as_ferrt plugin. my first question about acts_as_ferret: 1. from reading about ferret, do i still need to manually save the IDX and add a IDX column field to my model table for acts_as_ferret to work? they say that acts_as_ferret handles everything,

Hi guys, I''m using attachment_fu on my site to allow users to upload pictrues. Pictures can be set to only allow friends to view them. The problem I''m having is ferret is indexing the images along with their thumbnails which means I end up with a lot of broken images in the search. Also it''s indexing images whose privacy is set to 1 (friends only). How could I go about
