Prevent index auto update

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hi,

I have a has_many association between Book and Page.

I have acts_as_ferret running on only the Book model. However, when I
update the a page, it calls the auto update index on the Book model as
well just in case any of the ferret fields were changed.

How can I stop acts_as_ferret from auto updating the index on its own,
especially when nothing changes?

the book index will only be updated if a book record is saved. To save a
book record without updating the ferret index, look at the
ferret_disable method aaf mixes into your book model, or into the wiki:
http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage#Disablingautomaticindexing

As an alternative, If you want a completely custom handling of when aaf
does automatic index updates and when not, just override the
ferret_enabled? instance method in your book model to return true only
if you want automatic indexing and false otherwise.
