class Media < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :series, :class_name => 'Media', :foreign_key => 'series_id'

  define_index do
    indexes title
    has 'IF(series_id, series_id, id)', :type => :integer, :as => 
:parent_media
  end

end

Okay, basically i have a media class that is self-referencing, which is to 
say that a record may or may not point to another record through the 
series_id FK - this series_id can be null. Each record has a num_votes 
column. 

What I'd like to do when indexing is use the num_votes of the series IF 
there is a related series record and if not use the num_votes of the current 
record. So far, I have tried these:

has 'IF(series_id, series_medias.num_votes, num_votes)', :type => :integer, 
:as => :sort_media_rank 
has series ? series(:num_votes) : :num_votes

is it even possible to do a conditional for a has clause?
