plugins/searchable/vendors/build_search_index.php

file. Specifically the setAvailableModels() method. Add some echos, pr() calls and die()s on a few of the variables to see what’s going on.

The code is well commented so it should be fairly easy to understand what it’s trying to do, and then why it’s not working in your case.

Please come back and leave a comment when you find out.

I now have cli 5.2.12 running and can access the Build Search Index Shell. It offers me a choice between either my default database or my test. However Possible Models based on your current database: always returns no results. I have added var $actsAs => array(‘Searchable.Searchable’); to the two models I want searchable. I have also tried to add the names of the models and ‘a’ for all but I still get nothing.

So if I can update my cli then I should be able to run the build_search_index script otherwise I’ll need to make the above modifications?

Note, sometimes cli (comman line interpreter) versions of php can be different to one you installed as an apache module for example.

What I’m getting at is the cli might be baulking at the “protected” keyword, if so, change all instances of public, protected or private to just var when they precede a class property and just remove them altogether when they precede a method.

I am trying to get this working but when I go to build the search index I am getting the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/user/example.com/app/plugins/searchable/vendors/shells/build_search_index.php on line 25

Looking at the build_search_index.php file line 25 is blank line 24 states protected $_useDbConfig;

I am using cakephp 1.2.6

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to cakePHP and it is great to see that new features are always being added.

Thanks!

When running the build_search_index shell, I got the following errors:

Warning: array_keys(): The first argument should be an array in /app/plugins/searchable/vendors/shells/build_search_index.php on line 113
Warning: current(): Passed variable is not an array or object in /app/plugins/searchable/vendors/shells/build_search_index.php on line 118

However, the rest of the process continued on as normal:

Possible Models based on your current database:
1. Product
Enter one or more numbers from the list above separated by a space, or type in the names of one or more other models, ‘a’ for all or ‘q’ to exit
[q] > 1

The error was in _setDbConfig(), the $config = get_class_vars(‘DATABASE_CONFIG’) is empty. Didn’t seem to affect the indexing, though, db table was populated with data as expected.

Also, I needed to modify the SearchIndexesController $helpers array by appending the plugin name to the searchable helper. Eg:
var $helpers = array(‘Searchable.Searchable’);

Other than that, seems to work fine. I’ll do some more in-depth testing and let you know of any other issues that come up.

By the way, this is pretty sweet. I was using a modified version of the Zend Lucene search, which is nice, but soooo slow! This is nice and fast to index and query, so that’s nice.

This looks really interesting. Is it (or can it be) compatible with 1.3?
