Pat, Thanks so much for the excellent plugin, I was using the gem but switched to the plugin to try your solution,
It worked! Thanks so much! While I have you there are a couple of rants I have about facets which I gave up using due to performance issues (un-needed db requests etc), if you could think about these it would be great.. (maybe I should move it to a separate thread) 1. DB calls are made on associations even if you are only calling the id exp I want maker_id facets on the product search (the makers table is called even though I only need the ids) 2. This is probably OK if you can access the extra objects that have been called, but I can't see a place to do this through the Face class, I monkey patched facet.rb to add this to facet results to be able to have this kind of functionality 3. Rather than calling the facet then adding name_for wouldn't it be easier to have a facet flag on the main search method with the facets being accessible like results or current page is. This would keep functionality like scopes etc 4. It would be nice for facets to give you decent count information for many to many associations Bar this it is an amazing plugin, thanks for the work Richard On Feb 24, 5:54 pm, Pat Allan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Richard > > I guess this is a bug - I'd not thought of people wanting to clone a search > object.
