Problem with the Search Function in chapter 4
yorks....@googlemail.com
sorry to be a pain but I'm having yet more problems I have followed
the code to the letter for using the find_by_contents method but when
i try running the search as it says I should be able to in the book I
keep getting the following error :
NoMethodError in CatalogController#search
undefined method `find_by_contents' for Book:Class
here is the code I have added to my catalog_controller.rb:
def search
@page_title = "Search"
if params[:commit] == "Search" || params[:q]
@books = Book.find_by_contents(params[:q].to_s.upcase)
unless @books.size > 0
flash.now[:notice] = "No books found matching your criteria"
end
end
end
thanks in advance for your help :)

It seems that the name of the method used by ActsAsFerret has been
changed to find_with_ferret after the book was published. Can you
replace all instances of find_by_contents with find_with_ferret and
see if that works for you?

I'm updating the errata page (http://railsecommerce.com/errata) as I'm
finding out about these changes.

Does it find books you enter now? I don't know if it automatically
indexes books that already exist in the database (but I might be
wrong). Try if running Book.rebuild_index in the console helps.

but I was meaning more in terms of what sources do you use to for
instance find out that find_by_contents has since been changed to
find_with_ferret?

might want to check from the group website whether your message has
arrived if you fear it didn't get through. Your last mail arrived here
three times ;-)

If something that's a part of a plugin (in this case acts_as_ferret)
doesn't work, there's ultimately three options:
1) you haven't installed the plugin
2) you are not using the plugin (calling acts_as_ferret in the Book
model in this case) correctly.
3) The plugin api has changed.
Since you said you followed the book by the letter, I checked the
plugin's website (http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/) and
found out (in the introductory tutorial) that they didn't use a method
called find_by_contents anymore. The same can be found in the plugin's
API docs: http://projects.jkraemer.net/rdoc/acts_as_ferret/
In general, Google is your friend.

for some reason find_with_ferret doesnt seem to be working properly,
I have tried performing a couple of test searches for some sample
books i have entered but it is not finding anything even when i copy
the book title and paste it into the search box, any ideas why this
might be??
thanks very much

Sorry, no idea if you already rebuilt the index. You might to ask for
help in the acts_as_ferret forums.
