Hi all

I am getting this error when I am using

acts\_as\_ferret :fields =\>[:competitor], :remote =\> true

NameError in PartController#index

uninitialized constant PartController::Competitor

* * *

My Model

class Competitor \< ActiveRecord::Base

validates\_presence\_of :fee\_earner\_id, :notes

belongs\_to :fee\_earner  
belongs\_to :country  
belongs\_to :state  
belongs\_to :user

acts\_as\_ferret :fields =\>[:competitor], :remote =\> true

end

* * *

My controller

class PartController \< ApplicationController

@@total\_company = 70

def index

@proscribeds = Competitor.paginate(:all, :order =\> sort , :page =\>  
params[:page], :per\_page =\> @@total\_company )

end

end
