Hello, I'm using find_with_ferret to search multiple models and it
works great. The trouble is I need to filter the results
using :include and :conditions.
I get two errors depending on the syntax I use in the search. Reading
the source, I see the retrieve_records method seems to filter
the :include and :conditions so that they only apply to the relevant
model when searching multiple models. This is exactly what I want, but
I can't seem to get it to work.
My question: is my syntax wrong? Or have I misread how retrieve_record
works? If so, How would I apply conditions to a subset of models being
searched in a multi model search?
# First Try. This syntax with using a hash to contain the include
params works with regular active_record calls.
@results = Inventory.find_with_ferret( @query,
{ :multi => [ Artist], :page => params[ :page ], :per_page
=> 10 },
{ :include => {:media_files => {}}, :conditions =>
[ "media_files.file and inventories.status = 'donated'" ] } )
# Resulting Error
undefined method `to_sym' for [:media_files, {}]:Array
# Second try. I put the :include params in [] array brackets to see if
that would help the to_sym error. That fixes the to_sym error. But now
the association isn't getting found?
@results = Inventory.find_with_ferret( @query,
{ :multi =>
[ Artist], :page => params[ :page ], :per_page => 10 },
{ :include =>
[:media_files => {}], :conditions => [ "media_files.file and
inventories.status = 'donated'" ] } )
# Resulting Error
Association named 'media_files' was not found; perhaps you misspelled
it?
Thanks in advance.
