Hi everyone
For those who didn't see my tweet yesterday, I've added two pretty big
features to TS over the last week, and pushed the changes to GitHub
yesterday (and thus the latest version is now 1.2).
First up, the much desired excerpts support. Thinking Sphinx will
automatically add an excerpts object to each search result, and that
uses the underlying object's methods for the initial data.
@articles = Article.search 'pancakes'
@articles.each do |article|
article.excerpts.content
end
On the off chance you already have a method called excerpts on your
model, then it won't be overwritten, and you'll have to use the
slightly less clean syntax instead:
@articles = Article.search 'pancakes'
@articles.each do |article|
@articles.excerpt_for(article.content)
end
The other big feature is Sphinx Scope, which is equivalent to
ActiveRecord's named_scope - add scopes to your model, then chain them
together to combine different filters, field conditions, etc.
sphinx_scope(:by_name) { |name|
{:conditions => {:name => name}}
}
Article.by_name('Pat').each do |article|
# etc
end
You cannot combine these with named scopes (because they are SQL, and
Sphinx has its own syntax).
Anyway, both of these features are ready to be used - if you hit any
issues, or have any questions, let me know.
Cheers
