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?
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

end
def new

end
def create #this is executed when form is submitted in new.html.erb, because form is for @sotry variable

@story=@current_user.stories.build params[:story] #new first line, book page 309
if @story.save
flash[:notice]='Story submission succeeded'
redirect_to stories_path #195 page in the book
else
render :action=>'new'
end
end
def edit
@story=Story.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@story=Story.find(params[:id])
if @story.update_attributes(params[:story])
redirect_to :action=>'show', :id=>@story
else

end
end
def destroy
Story.find(params[:id]).destroy
redirect_to stories_path
end
def show #the form submission is routed (rake routes) to VotesController create method
@story=Story.find(params[:id])
end
def bin
#@stories=Story.find:all, :order=>'id DESC', :conditions=>'votes_count <5'

end
def list

#If we were to make fetch_stories a publicly accessible method, it would be exposed via the URL http://localhost:3000/stories/fetch_stories, which is certainly not what we want! Book page 341
def fetch_stories(conditions)

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
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”
