similar to: Little Ferret Problem

I have a large table (> 20,000 records) with text columns for which I need to build a search function. Is there a "Rails" way to index all the entries and NOT search using LIKE? "LIKE" searches can get very slow and I would rather build an index of the columns to speed up things. Just want to know if there is something like "acts_as_indexable"

I would like to have a login box setup so that if incorrect info is submitted, the box "shakes" via Effect.Shake. If the correct information is submitted, I want to redirect to some other page. The only solution I''ve found is the following, which is pretty ugly, as it displays the javascript I''m invoking on the page prior to the redirect. Here is the code: The Form

Maaaaaaaaaaaaajor sanity check needed. I wrote a simple little plugin, and it wouldn''t load. I put some comments in it''s init.rb, and it didn''t even spit those out. So, I dug into the initializer.rb (/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb) to see wtf is going on, and found the problem... but... can''t explain it. Here is the code in question:

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

Hello ! I''m trying to implement something similar to the "multiple updates" section of the Web2.0 chapter of the Agile book. I implemented my version, and nothing is happening. No javascript errors, my logs look fine, page is rendered fine... just no Effect.Highlight. Here is the code: views/causes/cause_home/index.rhtml =============== <%= form_remote_tag(:complete =>

Hi. First of all I would like to say "thank you" to David for its really valuable work. Ferret is a great project and it have great future. Well now is my questions as beginner in Ferret. How to remove ALL documents from index. Remove files is not a solution. I am interesting in something like index.remove_index or something like this. What is a usual way of doing it?? What is the

Hello Everyone ! Wanted to announce the launch of a new, 100%, Ruby/Rails based shopping system. http://www.rightcart.com (our blog: http://www.rightcartblog.com) It''s basically a shopping widget that allows users to make purchases directly through the widget.... no need to be redirected to a third party shopping cart. You can sell anything you want by upload the products onto the

Hello All ! I''ve been using RJS extensively, but haven''t done any form validation with it until now. Should I be manually passing the RJS template some models error messages from the controller.... or ... should I be using error_messages_for in order to do the display ? I''ve implemented the first approach, but it seems like quite a hack. Any insight would be greatly

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

I tried adding a FULLTEXT search index to a table of mine in MySQL, only to discover that the InnoDB table format doesn''t seem to support this feature. Switching to the MyISAM table type seemed to work, but I seem to have some recollection that ActiveRecord transactions aren''t fully atomic on MyISAM tables. Is this true or am I just remembering wrong? If so, does anyone have

I believe I heard some talk of an ActiveRecordCache being developed while I was on IRC... however, can''t find the actual project. Anybody know if this is being developed, or where I can find more information on it ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, I''m newly discovering Ferret, and just did a crash course on Lucene to (I get the concepts behind it). But I''m have a few doubts: 1. What is the ''recommended'' way of integrating Ferret into my app now? The gem version or the plugin? 2. Where do I checkout the plugin from? Do I just copy the version on the wiki? Those apart, Ferret is really

I''m working with a Development and a Production environment In order to keep things in synch between the two environments, I thought it would be good to "gem unpack" all of my currently installed gems into the vendor/ directory... so when I push things into Production... everything jives. I unpacked about 20 gems into the vendor/ directory.... now everything is broke :) I

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models. I could use STI, but I think the table would just have too many columns. Now, I wanted to let the Dog''s, Whale''s

Hi all, I was playing with the sample project found on the Wiki at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToIntegrateFerretWithRails , and everything was working fine, ... till I moved to EdgeRails : undefined method `weight'' for #<Hash:0x22c7150> (full error thread below) Any idea? Alain

I have a login form, in which I use a "form_remote_tag". I''m redirecting users to this form when they fail authentication as well... and using the "jumpto" method of capturing they original URL they requested via request.parameters, and redirecting to this URL after they authenticate. Problem is, if I try to do a "redirect_to", this won''t work, as

Can anybody share some examples of their Money implementation ? I''m trying to setup a Model to use this library, but can''t seem to wrap my head around how it is exactly supposed to work. My Model (Foo) looks like: =============== composed_of :commission, :class_name => "Money", :mapping => [ %w(commission_cents cents), %w(commission_currency currency) ] Yet, in

Hi, I have been using Ferret on ruby-forum.com for a few days. While the searching works with reasonable performance, there are a lot of problems related to indexing. Sometimes the process hangs with 100% CPU usage, sometimes it leaves Lockfiles in the directory (causing other processes to fail while one ist still working), sometimes it even crashes with a segfault. I''m going to

If anybody on edge familiar with this could help, that would be "great" :) I have different types of things I want to be "reviewable". So, instead of having a slew of HABTM... this new Polymorphic Associations schtick seemed like the best solution. I have everything setup as I thought it should be (so I think)... but it doesn''t appear to be working correctly. Here
