thinking-sphinx

trying to get cancan working with thinking sphinx but running into some issues. Before using sphinx, I had this in my companies view: @companies = Company.accessible_by(current_ability) That prevented my users from seeing anyone else's companies... After installing sphinx, I ended up with: @companies = Company.accessible_by(current_ability).search(params[:search], :include => :order, :match_mode => :extended ).paginate(:page => params[:page]) Which now displays all my companies and isn't refining per user based on ability. It would see ts isn't set up for cancan? I think it's more that

I try to start thinking sphinx on my server but it doesn't want to work. I do: $ rake thinking_sphinx:index && rake thinking_sphinx:start And i get: Generating Configuration to /vol/www/apps/ror_tutorial/releases/20120202111730/config/development.sphinx.conf Sphinx 2.0.3-release (r3043) Copyright (c) 2001-2011, Andrew Aksyonoff Copyright (c) 2008-2011, Sphinx Technologies Inc (http://sphinxsearch.com) using config file '/vol/www/apps/ror_tutorial/releases/20120202111730/config/development.sphinx.conf'... indexing index 'micropost_core'...

I'm using Thinking Sphinx for full-text search, following this video . I'd like to do the following: @articles = Article.search(params[:search], :conditions => "published_at IS NOT NULL", :order => :created_at) The problem is that this doesn't work. It seems that the search method only accepts conditions that are a hash. I've tried a couple of ways, but I am clueless as to how I can represent "published_at IS NOT NULL" as a hash... Was given the solution over at Railscasts If you want *all* results for that model to filter out records where published_at IS NULL, add 'where "published_at IS NOT

I'm finding that Thinking Sphinx sometimes errors out when I try to run its Rake tasks. Sometimes the tasks work fine, and sometimes I get errors like the one below. I'm running the tasks as a normal user, not root. Not using sudo. In the example below, searchd is still running after the Rake task fails. I've also seen similar errors with ts:rebuild . Has anyone else seen this? I'm using Sphinx 0.9.9-release (r2117) I'm using Thinking Sphinx 1.4.4 instead of the latest version because I'm on Rails 2.3.11. $ rake ts:stop RAILS_ENV=production (in /var/www/blog_app/releases/20110425053509) rake

In my project having 23 million records and around 6 fields has been indexed of that table. Earlier I tested to add delta column for Thinking Sphinx search but it turns in holding the whole database lock for an hour. Afterwards when the file is added and I try to rebuild indexes this is the query that holds the database lock for around 4 hours: "update user_messages set delta = false where delta = true" Well for making the server up I created a new database from db dump and promote it as database so server can be turned live. Now what I am looking is that adding delta column in my table with

I installed Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx for ruby on rails 2.3.2. When I search without conditions search works ok. Now, what I'd like to do is filter by tags, so, as I'm using the acts_as_taggable_on plugin, my Announcement model looks like this: class Announcement < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable_on :tags,:category define_index do indexes title, :as => :title, :sortable => true indexes description, :as => :description, :sortable => true indexes tags.name, :as => :tags indexes category.name, :as => :category has category(:id), :as => :category_ids has tags(:id), :as => :tag_ids end For
