Hi, I''m running the trunk version with drb server. In my ferret_server.log I get a lot of messages like this: #method_missing(:add, ["User", {:first_name=>"blah", :comments=>nil, :company=>"blah", :phone_day=>""}]) Over and over again. But more importantly, since yesterday doing a search has caused an exception: A NoMethodError

Sort of a newbie question - sorry if it''s been asked before and I missed it in my search. I have an id_array of Author ids, and I want to retrieve the associated Author models as quickly as possible, but also preserve the ordering of the id_array. Using Author.find(id_array) returns the records, but not in the same order. Is there some flag I can pass to find() to preserve the order? I

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.

Hi guys, My site ( http://shunya.in ) recently started receiving some spam and I had ignored the issue till it became a problem, and I guess it is becoming a problem now. I looked around on suggested ways to address the problem and found two systems - CAPTCH and Akismet.

Hi, Recently, I was trying to play around with AAF and found that reindexing table is very slow. Then I started looking into Ferret performance and tried myself and found that it''s very fast. Then, I just used Ferret to index my table and it was also very fast. All good. Then why reindexing using AAF is slow. After sometime I found that in the AAF, it uses (:key => :id) in

Hi all, Every time I try to add options for the find_conditions argument of find_by_contents I get the following: a = AnnotatedLink.find_by_contents(''test'', {}, {:conditions => ''category_id IS NOT NULL''}) >> NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

i was suffering from a massive memory leak in my application. after searching and testing for quite a while i finally found that it wasn''t my app that had a leak but the win32ole support that was used by the ADO driver in sqlserver adapter. the solution to fix the leak was to install ruby 1.8.5p52 or 1.8.6p36 but sadly as soon i install one of the fixed releases mongrel won''t

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

Hi, I have three models: Comatose::Page, Article and Product. In all of them, store_class_name is set to true.

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem update today. I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

I have a module as shown below and when I extend an active record to use it, I can not access the primary_key method. In a simple test program using a similar approach where active record is not involved, access to the class methods seems to work ok. What can I do to make this work or so that I can access the class methods ? ################################## require

Hi all, I want to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search two model classes (Reviewable and Blog) at a time like @results = Reviewable.multi_search("jemen", [Blog]) and I''m always getting the error You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Gents, I successfully installed AAF on my TextDrive OpenSolaris Container, but I''m having some issues with indexing. I have a model called Blogs which has AAF enabled. The first time I tried to find_by_contents for a ''word'' I know was on the Database I got now results. Apparently the index was not ready yet. Then I waited a few hours and checked that the /index
