Hello all,
I'm in my third month of Ruby on Rails. I think it's coming along
fairly well.
My current issue is this.
I'm do a search based on string data some of which is very long. So I'm
doing a similar match using "amatch" gem.
When I have a 50% or greater match I store the id to an array.
How can I do a find looping thru the array then send the query results
to a partial.
I have the following...
- projects_controller -
def search
# get list of search parameters from id sent.
list = params[:id]
# split by comma
list = list.split(',')
# assign each
id_search_string = list[0]
title_search_string = list[1]
# create new instance of Levenshtein using 'amatch'
m = Levenshtein.new(title_search_string)
# retrieve all titles from projects
@title = Project.find(:all, :select => 'DISTINCT id, title')
# create projects array
projects = Array.new
# loop thru all titles
@title.each do |project|
# if title search string more than 50% similar to the project
title.
if m.similar(project.title) >= 0.5
puts "ID:"+project.id.to_s + ", " +
m.similar(project.title).to_s
# push to array
projects.push(project.id)
end
end
# Next, we need to access all matching ids then query project table
for ids.
# loop thru array
# HERE'S WHERE I'M LOST
projects.each do |m|
m.id
end
#QUERY USING SEARCHLOGIC, IF EASIER I COULD USE JUST "FIND"
projects = Project.id_like(id).paginate(:page => params[:page],
:per_page => 20)
#RENDER PARTIAL
render :partial => 'projects/results', :locals => {:projects =>
projects}
end
Thank you for any help on this.
