Hi Fabrio, acts_as_solr_reloaded is not yet compatible with MongoID, but I will try to implemented it. If you wanna help, this module may help you as a base:

Hi Homer, acts_as_solr_reloaded is now compatible with will_paginate, I just added the info to the readme:

Is can act_as_solr_reloaded be used with will_paginate?

Also - searching for ‘*:*’ fails. I would typically use this if I wanted to do a faceted search without any text query.

The error showing up in solr shows that _t is being appended:

May 4, 2010 12:11:36 PM org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log
SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Cannot parse ‘(*_t:*) AND (t
ype_s:Post)’: ‘*’ or ‘?’ not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery

Hi Diego. I am playing with acts_as_solr_reloaded and I am having trouble getting back facet counts. Not sure if this this is a solr config issue or what. I am using jetty-solr with its out-of-the box configuration.

I have a model that has this:
acts_as_solr :fields => [:body], :facets => [:source_type, :project_id]

I do a find like this:
find_by_solr(’tester’, {
:highlight => {:fields => ‘body’},
:facets=>{:zeros=>true,:fields=>[:source_type, :project_id]}
})

and not facet counts come back (though I know there is matching data:
facet_fields”=>{”source_type_facet”=>{}, “project_id_facet”=>{}}

Even hitting solr directly yeilds no facet counts:

http://localhost:8982/solr/select/?q=tester%0D%0A&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&facet=true&facet.field=project_id_facet

Thoughts?

Hi Matt, I meant to say that it works with ActiveRecord on any database, sorry for don’t being explicit.

Btw, are you using any plugin for Sphinx? Also, which adapter are you using for MongoDB?

Thanks for your feedback, it was very good and I will try to adapt acts_as_solr_reloaded to work with Mongo.

You mention that it should be able to work with “any rails model”, but then it seems like it requires ActiveRecord. So it won’t really work with any rails model… only models derived from ActiveRecord. I’m trying to use with MongoDB and don’t use AR. I’ve already got sphinx working with Mongo thru xmlpipe, which works well. But I’d love to try out yours in comparison if it can work without requiring AR.
