Hi,
I have a class with some polymorphic associations to it. I want to use
acts_as_ferret to index my objects and its associations. I want to do
it in a way I can define the fields from the associations to be
indexed in the association class.
I know I could do something like:
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body, :author_name]
has_one :author
def author_name
author.name
end
but since the relationship is polymorphic it woul be like
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body, :extra_field]
belongs_to :extra, :polymorphic=>true
def extra_field
case self.extra_type
when ‘x’
x.name
when ‘y’
y.date
end
what is very ugly and realy not DRY. How can I define in the foreing
class the fields to be indexed?
thanks for any answers! acts_as_ferret seems to be very nice, but I
fell it lacks some docs.
