I have my search method and I want to pass my "search" to a analysis object. The search that user is looking will be the name of the analysis so as an Admin I can see the analysis and discovery what the users are most searching.
Here is my methods. My #analysis.name is always create with nil value. Does any body know how to fix that?
def search_articles
#search_param = params[:current_search][:search]
#articles = Article.where("title LIKE :search",
:search => "%#{params[:current_search][:search]}%")
search_attribute = :search
update_analysis(search_attribute)
end
def update_analysis(search)
#analysis = Analysis.create([{name: search, search_number: 1}])
end
Solution:
replace
search_attribute = :search
to
search_attribute = params[:current_search][:search]

I'm learning Rails and I have now a good knowledge about controllers.
By the way I always have some issues and I don't know whats the best way to solve them.
One of these is the search: I have a search in my website and I must reorder results for relevance and date.
My search controller
def show
#query = params[:query]
#contents = Content.published.search_by_text(#query).page(params[:page]).per(12)
end
This is the default search. I have to implement also the "data order" search and I think to do something like this:
def show
#query = params[:query]
#contents = Content.published.search_by_text(#query).page(params[:page]).per(12)
if params[:order]
#contents = Content.published.search_by_text(#query).reorder("created_at DESC").page(params[:page]).per(12)
end
end
Is there a better way to obtain my result?
Fortunately, rails allows us to chain calls when using Active Record (Rails' ORM)
Here is a possibility :
def show
#query = params[:query]
#contents = Content.published.search_by_text(#query)
#contents = #contents.reorder("created_at DESC") if params[:order]
#contents = #contents.page(params[:page]).per(12)
end
I have the following model and I want to pass multiple params in "with_query", don't know how to achieve it. currently you can see it takes only "query" param. how can I filter it with country and job_type. any help would be really appreciated.
search Model
def self.search(query, country, job_type, page = 1)
results = []
Refinery.searchable_models.each do |model|
results << model.limit(RESULTS_LIMIT).with_query(query)
end if query.present?
results.flatten[0..(RESULTS_LIMIT - 1)]
end
Controller
def show
#results = Refinery::SearchEngine.search(params[:query], params[:country], params[:job_type], params[:page])
present(#page = Refinery::Page.find_by_link_url("/search"))
end
I would try changing the line that builds your results in the search model to:
results << model.limit(RESULTS_LIMIT).with_query(query).where(country: country, job_type: job_type)
I've been wracking my brain over this but can't get it. I feel like the answer is probably obvious.
What I'm trying to do is the following:
I have an index controller which lists a series of Jobs which I can search using Ransack. Each job has a completion date which either has a date in it or is null (unfinished). Currently, the search itself works great. I would like to make it so that the index page loads up showing only the unfinished work, but I also want it to work so that when someone does run a search, returns results for both finished and unfinished work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the code below, :actual is the name of the field with the completion date. I also was looking around the web and thought that maybe something like the DEFAULT_SEARCH_PARAMETER={} that I have in the Job model might work but I couldn't seem to get it to.
Here is the code:
class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
DEFAULT_SEARCH_PARAMETER ={}
attr_accessible :items_attributes, :actual
end
def index
#search = Job.search(params[:q] || Job::DEFAULT_SEARCH_PARAMETER)
#search.build_condition
#results = #search.result
#job = #results.paginate(:per_page => 10, :page => params[:page])
end
Late to the party, but thought I'd suggest an alternate approach in case someone else comes across this.
The answer above works, but its disadvantage is that the default is not added to Ransack's search object, so - if you are using a search form - the default selection is not shown in the form.
The following approach adds the default to the search object and therefore will appear in your search form.
def index
#search = Job.search(params[:q])
#search.status_cont = 'Open' unless params[:q] #or whatever, must use Ransack's predicates here
#results = #search.result
#job = #results.paginate(:per_page => 10, :page => params[:page])
end
I think you could just apply your own filter when the search parameters don't exist:
def index
#search = Job.search(params[:q])
#results = #search.result
#results = #results.where(:your_date => nil) unless params[:q]
#job = #results.paginate(:per_page => 10, :page => params[:page])
end
Many years later I found myself with this exact problem so I thought I'd chime in with a solution I'm using. Set default search params in the controller and reverse merge them into params[:q]:
def index
default_search_params = {
status_cont: "open"
}
#search = Job.search((params[:q] || {}).reverse_merge(default_search_params))
...
end
So by default, you want the page to load with records where actual is nil. And later when the user searches you want to go back to how your search was working before.
Give this a try.
def index
#search = Job.search(params[:q] || Job::DEFAULT_SEARCH_PARAMETER)
#search.build_condition
#results = #search.result
if #results.nil?
#results=Job.find(:all, :conditions => ["actual = NULL"] )
end
#job = #results.paginate(:per_page => 10, :page => params[:page])
end
Specifically in my new/create actions. I have #playlist = Playlist.new(params[:playlist]). The thing is I also have sensitive data in attr_accessible that I don't want them to modify (the number of listens on a playlist, which they shouldnt be able to update).
I tried Playlist.new(:title => params[:title], :description => params[:description], etc) but that didn't work. I assume because I need to do params[:playlist][:title] but this looks quite messy. Am I doing this incorrectly?
In the Model you can write a function called for example, new_safe which creates the new object with the params you want and then returns it
like this:
def new_safe(params)
playlist = Playlist.new
playlist.title = params[:title]
playlist.description = params[:description]
playlist.save
playlist
end
Just thinking, similiarly you could write it like this which is a bit cleaner
Controller:
#playlist = Playlist.new
#playlist.input_params(params)
Model:
def input_params(params)
playlist.title = params[:title]
playlist.description = params[:description]
playlist.save
end
I am using search logic to filter results on company listing page. The user is able to specify any number of parameters using a variety of named URLs. For example:
/location/mexico
/sector/technology
/sector/financial/location/argentina
Results in the following respectively:
params[:location] == 'mexico'
params[:sector] == 'technology'
params[:sector] == 'financial' and params[:location] == 'argentina'
I am now trying to cleanup or 'DRY' my model code. Currently I have:
def self.search(params)
...
if params[:location]
results = results.location_permalink_equals params[:location] if results
results = Company.location_permalink_equals params[:location] unless results
end
if params[:sector]
results = results.location_permalink_equals params[:sector] if results
results = Company.location_permalink_equals params[:sector] unless results
end
...
end
I don't like repeating the searchs. Any suggestions? Thanks.
This is how I would write it:
[params[:location], params[:sector]].reject(&:nil?).each do |q|
results = (results ? results : Company).location_permalink_equals q
end
There's plenty of other ways, just an idea. Has the benefit of making it easy to add say params[:street] or something.
I don't think you can really DRY that up much when sticking to SearchLogic... I'd suggest to refine your routes to directly emit *_permalink as parameter names and do something like this:
Company.all :conditions => params.slice(:location_permalink, :sector_permalink)
or
Company.find :all, :conditions => params.slice(:location_permalink, :sector_permalink)
