calling acts_as_ferret in the MenuItem class will create a separate
index for MenuItems, this is probably not what you want.
The problem is, that ferret only can index what your menu_item_name
method delivers when the object is saved. If you save the object before
creating the menus and menu_items, there's nothing to index.
You could try to create the menus and menu_items first, then add them to
the object to be indexed and then call save.
Or just call save another time after you created the menus.
btw, 'menuitems' sounds like it is a collection of menuitems, so what
should 'menuitems.name' deliver ? Maybe you want something like
menuitems.inject('') { |value, item| value << " #{item.name}" }
concatenating the names of all menuitems to one string which then would
be indexed ? The same for 'menus', sounds like a has_many relationship, too.
I'm sure we'll get this right somehow ;-)
