story def list (shovell)

[axelsword]

Hey, what gives?

I tried to use searchlogic gem to order data so I created "list" method in stories_controller.rb
(excerpt)

def bin
	#@stories=Story.find:all, :order=>'id DESC', :conditions=>'votes_count <5'
	fetch_stories 'votes_count <5'
	render :action=>'index'
end
def list
	@stories=Story.find(:all)
end

list.html.erb

<h2><%= story_list_heading %></h2>
<%= order @stories, :by => :name %>
<%= render :partial=>'story_list', :collection=>@stories %>

_story_list.html.erb (partial)

<% div_for(story) do %>
	<p>
		<span class="storyIdCol"><%= story.id %></span>,
		<span class="storyCol"><%= link_to story.name, story %></span>,
		<span class="storyLinkCol"><%= story.link %></span>,
		<span class="storyUserCol"><%= story.user.login %></span>,
		<span class="storyVotesCol">%= story.votes_count %></span>,
		<span class="storyEditCol"><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_story_path(story) %></span>
	</p>
<% end %>

But rails gives an error (http://localhost:3000/stories/list)
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in StoriesController#show

Couldn't find Story with ID=list

Shorthand value "list_stories_path" isn't available.

Can you show me the code in your config/routes.rb file and the full stories controller?

[axelsword]

config/routes.rb

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  # You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
  # map.root :controller => "welcome"
  map.root :controller => "stories"
 
  # See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"
 
  # Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
  map.resources :stories, :has_many=>:votes, :collection=>{:bin=>:get} #because of this we can use story_path (a helper), book page 235; page 245; custom routes book page 343
  map.resource :session #plural vs singular book page 287
  map.resources :users #book page 359
  map.resources :tags #book page 395
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

stories_controller.rb

class StoriesController < ApplicationController
	before_filter :login_required, :only=>[:new, :create] #book page 307
  def index
	@current_time=Time.now
	#@stories=Story.find :all, :order=>'id DESC', :conditions=>'votes_count >=5'#this line rephrased, book page 341
	fetch_stories 'votes_count >=5'
  end
  def new
	@story=Story.new
  end
  def create #this is executed when form is submitted in new.html.erb, because form is for @sotry variable

	else

  end
	def edit
		@story=Story.find(params[:id])

	def list
		@stories=Story.find(:all)
	end

	#If we were to make fetch_stories a publicly accessible method, it would be exposed via the URL [url]http://localhost:3000/stories/fetch_stories[/url], which is certainly not what we want! Book page 341
	def fetch_stories(conditions)
		#benchmarking book page 448
		self.class.benchmark('Fetching stories') do
			@stories=Story.find:all, :order=>'id DESC', :conditions=>conditions
		end
	end
end

In order to use a "non RESTful" route you need use :collection on your route.

This is what you have currently...

map.resources :stories, :has_many=>:votes, :collection=>{:bin=>:get}

This is what you would need for it to work...

map.resources :stories, :has_many=>:votes, :collection=>{:bin=>:get, :list => :get}

Can someone help me out?

I would like to use searchlogic but I just don't understand how.
The description just says "Now just set it as a dependency in your project and you are ready to go." How do I do that?

I have it installed

C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\shovell>gem install searchlogic
Successfully installed searchlogic-2.4.19
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for searchlogic-2.4.19...
Installing RDoc documentation for searchlogic-2.4.19...

C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\shovell>

When I use it inside controller I get an error that "search" is not recognized
stories_controller.rb

def list
	@stories=Story.search.all
end

[scannon]

In your environment.rb file you need to add the following line:

config.gem "searchlogic"

It needs to be placed after this line:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

Can't start server if environment.rb includes "searchlogic"
