similar to: acts as ferret creates redundant default index directory?

Hi What is the be practice regards setting the index path dynamically? My application needs to switch indexes based on the logged in user, I put the following before_filter into my controller (the Document.index_dir method calculates the user''s index path): before_filter { Document.ferret_configuration[:path] = Document.index_dir } It seems to work, the only rough edge is that the

Hello, I did a seemingly smooth install of ferret, but when I try to add it to my model, I get an error. My info: My rails site: shelikes (a restaurant review site) My controller: Display My model: Review My only line of code added for ferret is: class Review < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ...( more stuff not related )... end Below is the error information. Any thoughts on how

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

Previously when I used to build index i used to get false in return. >> Event.rebuild_index => false Now I get this. >> Event.rebuild_index => {} Following changes took place. 1) I moved my app from FCGI to mongrel. 2) I moved my app to capistrano. Before moving to capistrano the code was acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf" ] Now the code

The Problem: The application is using the AAF plugin. When I attempt to rebuild the index on the production server from the console, I get the following error: ------ DRb::DRbConnError: druby://ferret.mydomain.com:9010 - #<Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)> from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:729:in

Hi, We''re happily using Ferret through acts_as_ferret on a Rails website, but we have an issue with rebuilding indexes. The Rails project directories are on an NFS mounted volume and running Model.rebuld_index there seems to take 60-100 times longer than it does on a local filesystem (e.g. /tmp). What we''d like to do is rebuild our indexes in say /tmp, then copy them back when

The following instance methods seem to be missing from the Ferret::Document::Field class in Ferret 0.9.0 using compiled C extensions: #string_value, #reader_value and #binary_value. They are in the pure ruby implementation). I got round it by mixing in hacked versions of the pure Ruby methods (@data replaced by self.data). Many thanks for Ferret it''s shaping up to being a killer app

Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a

Hi I''ve written ferret_helper.rb (FerretHelper module) containing wrapper methods for converting PDF, HTML, Open Document and Microsoft Word files to plain text for the Ferret index analysers. To help test it I wrote a simple ff.rb (Ferret Finder) command-line utility to index and search document files. You can download the code at http://www.methods.co.nz/ff/ Cheers, Stuart --

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

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,

I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under Locomotive 2.0.7. I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed, and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

I''m switching all my fulltext searching over to ferret using the acts_as_ferret plugin on windows (for development, will be deployed on linux). In my tests I have a setup method as follows to ensure the index is reset for each test: def setup Item.rebuild_index end This works fine for the initial few tests but then suddenly fails for the last few tests when it seems to be

We have an application that uses Ferret and acts_as_ferret that we just upgraded to Ferret 0.10.5 (from 0.9.5) and the corresponding version of the acts_as_ferret. Everything works as expected on my laptop, which is running mongrel 0.3.13.3. When I deploy the application on our server, which is running some version of Red Hat Linux, I can''t get Ferret to work at all when
