Cool. Just today I was looking for a solution like this :-)
When implementing I stumbled upon a problem indexing with
script/runner Mymodel.rebuild_index
class Mymodel < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => {:name => {:boost => :rating}}
# function for determining boost value
def rating
return instance_rating
end
end
This exits with
./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/runner.rb:47:
./script/
../config/../vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb:136:in
`add_fie
ld': can't convert Symbol into Float (TypeError)
Using the function name instead of the :symbol doesn't work either
./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/runner.rb:47:
undefined
method `rating' for Place:Class (NoMethodError)
