hi
i am implimenting the search function using tags.
i have tables called streams and tags.
each entry of the table have a single or multiple tagnames(i am using
acts_as_taggable_on_steroids for tagging).
streams table and correspong tagname to the table entries given below
name resolution codecname framerate tags
dust.mpeg2 1920x1080 mpeg2 30fps mpeg2 1920x1080
mummy.264 1920x1080 h264 30fps h264 1920x1080
dust.aac na aac na aac
amelie.mpeg2 720x480 mpeg2 25fps 720x480
I have implimented a search function it will take search string as
input from the search box created and it will list out the
corresponding stream names .
example:
search box entry is: dust.aac
output is :dust.aac
But my requirement is if i use the tag name as the search box entry i
should get the details of streams from the stream table with tag
matching to that streams.
e.g:
search box entry is:aac
expected output is:dust.aac
i am getting the error like :
Mysql::Error: Unknown column ‘tag’ in ‘where clause’: SELECT * FROM
streams WHERE ((LOWER(tag) LIKE ‘%h%’))
below is the my application to impliment the search function based on
tag name entry:
1)in index file i have added the code to create the search box:
Search:
<img id=“spinner” src="/images/indicator.gif" style=“display: none;” /
2)to do the search function i have added a method in controller like
this:
def get_results
if request.xhr?
if params[‘search_text’].strip.length > 0
terms = params[‘search_text’].split.collect do |word|
“%#{word.downcase}%”
end
if blank?
flash[:notice] = ‘Stream was successfully updated.’
else
@streams = Stream.find_tagged_with(
:all,
:conditions => [
( ["(LOWER(name) LIKE ?)"] *
terms.size ).join(" AND "),
* terms.flatten
]
)
end
end
render :partial => “search”
else
redirect_to :action => “index”
end
throwing errors like:
Mysql::Error: Column ‘name’ in where clause is ambiguous: SELECT
DISTINCT streams.* FROM streams INNER JOIN taggings
streams_taggings ON streams_taggings.taggable_id = streams.id AND
streams_taggings.taggable_type = ‘Stream’ INNER JOIN tags streams_tags
ON streams_tags.id = streams_taggings.tag_id WHERE ((LOWER(name) LIKE
‘%dust%’) AND (streams_tags.name LIKE ‘all’))
3)the result is collecting in _search.html.erb looks like
% if @streams %>
-
<% for stream in @streams %>
- <%= h(stream.name) %> <% end %>
i have to impliment the same functionality with tag name as the entry
for search how can i do that.
give some ideas to make it work.
thanks
