Hi Tony
You're definitely wading into undocumented (and untried) waters - I've
not done this before, nor have I heard of anyone trying to do this
before.
Still, it shouldn't be too difficult (in theory). The code you want to
keep an eye on is ThinkingSphinx::Index::Builder... but here's an
example, adding an attribute to a given source:
source = Order.sphinx_indexes.first.sources.first
columns = FauxColumn.coerce(:created_at)
options = {:type => :datetime} # not needed in this case - TS will
figure it out
ThinkingSphinx::Attribute.new(source, columns, options)
An index can have many sources, but starts with just one, so you should
be able to access existing sources easily enough. The columns can be
symbols referring to columns, and the options are a hash of options you
may pass through to a 'has' call normally. Also: the attribute will
automatically add itself to the source.
Hope this helps!
