Hi Pat,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me.
I hope I'm not being dumb and thick, but here's what I have...
(BTW, I have only seen the following words described as being
problematic: id, name, type. What's causing the problem for me is,
surprisingly, the word 'act'.)
Here is what I have in my model file:
belongs_to :act, :class_name => 'Activity::Act',
:foreign_key => 'activity_act_id'
And below it (so I can use the association) I want to define an
attribute to be used for filtering results. That attribute is the
'pol_id' field in the Activity::Act table.
However, when I try this within my 'define_index' block I get a
"syntax eror, unexpected ',' " error:
has (:act, :pol_id), :as => :politician
Ideally I should be able to specify the association as follows:
has act.pol_id
but that doesn't work. I have tried other combinations and can't get
anything to work.
Thanks for any help anyone can give,
Larry
