Sorry, that was badly worded.
I meant a before_validation or before_save callback on your model.
For example, I wanted the products in my system to be sortable by title
in sphinx, ignoring case and accents. I've added a "sort_title" string
attribute to my model, and have the following before_validation_filter:
class Product < ActiveRecorde::Base
...
before_validation :set_sphinx_columns
private
def set_sphinx_columns
self.sort_title =
self.title.to_s.mb_chars.normalize(:kd).gsub(/[^\x00-\x7F]/n, '').upcase
end
...
end
I don't fully grok your scenario, but it sounds like you could do
something similar, then point the sphinx index at the new column to get
it to recognise the data you need.
