In attempting to search child models (returning the parent object) using part of the "# Descend child elements" script at
I get a "no method" error for "all_fields". Does anyone know why this could be or where in fact the method comes from. If it works its a good solution unless anyone knows of any another way of searching child models while still returning the parent object.
His script is: # Descend child elements self.class.reflect_on_all_associations.collect { |association| self.send(association.instance_values["name"]).collect { | child> child.to_doc.all_fields.collect { |field| doc << field } if child.class.respond_to?("acts_as_ferret") } }
To use: extend the acts_as_ferret to_doc method by copying it into the parent model and add the above code onto the end of it before the return of doc.
Incidentally I use the code below instead (hard coding a child model) but still have the same problem.
self.products.each do |product| product.to_doc.all_fields.collect { |field| doc << field} end
I appreciate any help....my deadline looms! Eddie
