similar to: How do empty strings affect sorting?

I ran into this issue too. My solution was to add an "onUpdate" function to the sortable that tests the container to see if it''s got any children or not: function is_empty(container) { if ($(container).hasChildNodes()) { Element.removeClassName($(container),''empty''); } else if (!$(container).hasChildNodes()) {

I''m having problems sorting on untokenized fields. I have one field that sorts fine, but there are others that seem to sort on a different field. Here''s the index description: acts_as_ferret :remote=>true,:fields=>{:name=>{:boost=>2},:name_for_sort=>{:index => :untokenized}, :city=>{:boost=>2}, :city_for_sort=>{:index=>:untokenized},

Hey folks, On the Drag and Drop demo page in the Sortable Lists Demo section: http://script.aculo.us/drag-and-drop If you drag all of the items from the first list into the second list, it appears that you cannot drag a list item back into the first (now empty) list. Is there a way to allow a Sortable that is empty of draggable items to accept dropped items? Danilo

I''m trying to sort my search results by Date, in descending order. I''ve done quite a bit of reading through the forums here, and I''ve tried two different suggestions. This just returns results in the same order as a search without a sort: sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new("ferret_created_at",:reverse => :true)

Drag and drop sorting is great but if you had a list of, say, 100 items, you''d probably want to show only 10 per page. Has anyone seen any way to use the a drag and drop style sorting method over a number of pages? I see it working by having the displayed list sortable as normal then an item is moved to the next page by dragging it onto the ''next'' link... maybe...

I am getting strange results when I reverse sort a query. I am sorting by date, but it doesn''t seem to be related to dates (I have tried just integers). I also paginate the results. Items in the result set are sometimes duplicated and the not ordered at all. When I try a non-reverse sort I don''t see duplicates and the ordering is correct. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks

Hey .. maybe someone got a hint for me .. I''ve got a problem with the sorting of search results .. strangely enough, the sorting is fine on my mac development environment, but not okay on my linux live system. I got a field in my index called hierarchy. It contains long strings like: Living together > Family > Brother-In-Law Living together > Family > Marriage > Wife

Hello All, I am having an issue with AAF and sorting results of a search. Right now, I have results being split onto pages of 10. The results are being sorted alphabetically, but not across multiple pages - it''s just sorting the 10 it pulls down on each page. I noticed another post from April regarding this same issue (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/62993#66934) where the issue was

Hi, I have some questions about searching with Ferret. I have a user index with first_name, last_name and full_name (which is just first plus last with a space). Here are a couple of questions: 1) If I store the fields tokenized, it appears as though queries are case-insensitive. However, for untokenized, the query is case-sensitive. How can I make the untokenized searches case-insensitive?

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

Can a Sortable be disabled/deactivated/destroyed once it''s been created? I''ve tried a few different things with no success. Here''s what I''m doing: I have an ordered list. When a particular event happens, I created a Sortable from the list. I clone the list prior to creating the Sortable so I can revert to the original list if sorting is canceled. If, however,

I am apart of a team that runs a student site called Studicious (http://stu.dicio.us). We have been using Ferret from the beginning, and recently added acts_as_ferret and sorting to the system. As you can see if you try the search, sorting is not working as expected. I am using this code (w/ find_by_content): :sort => Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:school_sort, :reverse => false)

I''m using acts_as_ferret to index one of my rails models. Right after I start the app the first request that orders by some ferret field will take very long. Subsequent ones seem to be fast. I guess some caching is going on. Any tips on solving this? Pedro.

I''ve got a page I''ve implemented a bunch of observables and sortables. There are around 330 items in the list. The Observables (for hide/show of sublists) don''t seem to impact performance, but the Sortables take a very long time to load when the page is refreshed or submitted--even after accounting for the server-side processing and latency. I''ve

Hi, I''ve just been having a look at the scriptaculous drag-n-drop library, which looks exceedingly good. I''m running across a show-stopper here, though - something that''s cropping up in both the online demos and my own test scripts. If I set up two lists so that I can drag items between them, then if either list becomes empty, I can''t drag elements back into

Gents, does this definition will allow me to search inside title, sub_title and url and sort by score, rank_sort, last_updated_at_sort ? acts_as_ferret :fields => { :title => {:boost => 2, :store => :yes}, :sub_title => {:store => :yes}, :url => {:store => :yes}, :rank_sort =>

hi, i''ve just started use prototype.js et al, i am currently creating a sortable list with: Sortable.create(''id'', { onChange: myFunc }); but what i really want is an event that occurs after the li''s have been reordered and settled into the new list order. how would i do that? i know i can do for exampe: Event.observe(''id'',

I have a library I''ve developed that I believe is the most flexible and useful table sorting/striping/row-selecting library around. Big features: Single and multiple-level sort Arbitrary sort criteria (IP address, date, etc.) Works with table headers that are > 1 row or column large Stripe tables and/or enable row selecting Row selecting supports drag-select and SHIFT-click No extra
