I am trying to get multi_search to search across multiple models. I have the following: class Drug < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end class Target < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end and I am trying to query via: @drugs = Drug.multi_search(params[:query], [Target]) But I get no results. If I go: @drugs =

Hi, Im having problems using the multi_search command. I keep getting the following error. "undefined method `<<'' for Book:Class" here is the code associated with this. class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end class User < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end and the call is the

I have a Topic that has_many comments. In the search results only want Topics to show up, but I want them to include the text of the comments that they have when they are indexed. To do this I''ve added a :comments_text field for acts_as_ferret and the comments_text method gathers the text from all comments up into a string that can be indexed. The trick is that when comments are added,

Hi all, I''m working on a Flash app that loads information from Rails, using Flash''s Loadvars() method. This is working great, in all browsers but Win/IE. I''m wondering if it has to do with some directory/security sandbox bug in IE''s handling of Flash, coupled with Rail''s routing. Below are some examples. Keep in mind that the .swf file is in the

Hi all, I have indexes on 2 models e.g Message model acts_as_ferret(:store_class_name => true, :fields =>{:message => {:store => :compressed}, :felix_user_id => {:index =>:untokenized_omit_norms,:store => :no}) and the chat model acts_as_ferret(:store_class_name => true, :fields => {:name => {:store =>

Hello. I''ve been trying to get multi_search to work and I simply can''t. I have two models: Post acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true Page acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true If I do @results = Post.find_by_contents(params[:q]) or @results = Page.find_by_contents(params[:q]) it works fine, but if I

Hi, I have three models: Comatose::Page, Article and Product. In all of them, store_class_name is set to true. Now, when i do: results = Comatose::Page.multi_search("*", [Article,Product], options) I get: wrong constant name Comatose::Page #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/class_methods.rb:438:in `const_get''

So, I''m coding my school project in Rails. There are two models, User and Restaurants. I noticed that in Restaurants, when you use the belongs_to method, you could specify the condition of the associated table. There are a few types of users, in the user_type column of the users table - owners is type 1, users are type 2. So in my haste to hand in enough code, in the Restaurant model,

Hello, I need to write a function that will return a link only if the current user is the owner.

"#{link_to anchor_text, where_to_go}" 6. else 7. anchor 8. end 9. end And

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

Unfortunately I''m a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret. Also, I''m working in code I mostly didn''t write, so I''m kind of unsure of things. So this may be a dumb question. It also may be the same issue as the topic ''Duplicate search results'', but I''m not sure. When I update column values with

Hi all I''m using a_a_f in rails with a StemmingAnalyzer, in the index and in my search. I got the idea from this topic: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/80178 I''m having a problem with some search terms - i narrowed one of them down to the inclusion of the word ''fly''. Can anyone give me any clues at to what might be happening, or even how i can investigate?

Hello there, Im currently taking a Senior Design Course at my college. We are developing an online document editor prototype with Rails. I am not well-versed in Rails. As a matter of fact, we chose it for the project in order to learn it. The problem we have is the following: We have a User model (id, username, password, email) and we have a Document model (id, name, content, owner_id). A

Sorry if this is a really lame question, I''m sure it''s something fairly obvious, but I just can''t see it at the moment... I''m trying to add something simple to the model for a project management/todo list/thing. The DB has ''first_name'' and ''last_name'', and I''d like to have "full_name" available. So -

Hi, I''ve modified the latest acts_as_ferret code (version 0.3.0) to integrate with the Globalize (http://www.globalize-rails.org/globalize/) plugin. Essentially, I''ve added the ability to use a separate index per locale (It basically adds the language code as a suffix to the index and switches between indexes when the active locale changes). Since this introduces an optional

Hi all, I have this in my class: class Party < AR::B acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true, :remote => true, :fields => (self.content_columns.map(&:name) rescue []) + %w(main_identifier) class << self # #count is also defined, omitted for clarity def find_with_destroyed_scope(*args) with_destroyed_scope do

The documentation states: "single_index: set this to true to let this class use a Ferret index that is shared by all classes having :single_index set to true. :store_class_name is set to true implicitly, as well as index_dir, so don?t bother setting these when using this option. the shared index will be located in index/<RAILS_ENV>/shared ."
