Joseph – can you post your code from config/database.php, and also any relevant code in your models?

I’m struggling with this error message.

Unable to import DataSource class .ZendsearchluceneSource [CORE\cake\libs\model\connection_manager.php, line 186]

have i missed a step somehow?

I’m using 1.3 for this.

i found out its truncating my code so let me put the relevant part:
//above we do the necessary bootstraping,
//run the database query to get the records then index:
$companies_rec = mysql_query($sql);

while($document = mysql_fetch_object($companies_rec)) {
// print_r($document);
// Create a new searchable document instance
$doc = new Zend_Search_Lucene_Document();
// Add some information
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed(‘document_id’, $document->id));
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_title’, $document->company_name));
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_description’, $document->description));
// Add the document to the index
$index->addDocument($doc);
}
// Commit the index
$index->commit();

addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed(‘document_id’, $document->id));

$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_title’, $document->company_name));
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_description’, $document->description));

// Add the document to the index
$index->addDocument($doc);

}

// Commit the index
$index->commit();

thanks Jamie, sorry i am reply now, i was kinda on holiday…Pls find below the code i am using to index: I need to know how to use it with your datasource, that is, read the info from the database and pass the results to your indexer:
addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed(‘document_id’, $document->id));

$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_title’, $document->company_name));
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text(‘document_description’, $document->description));

// Add the document to the index
$index->addDocument($doc);

}

// Commit the index
$index->commit();

Thanks Jamie! but i am having some difficulties implementing…i am kinda new to cakephp…i had tried the other tutorial: ‘ Integrating Zend Framework Lucene with your Cake Application’ before seeing yours…i had gone as far as successfully creating the index…it worked…the challenge i had was the quering…the code doesnt seem to work with the latest version of cakephp(which is what i am using)…Yours is more recent and better organised…Please how can i pass the index information from mysql database into your datasource….

I could show you the code i am using to index, if that would help….

Thank you very much

Well, I can tell you that the first version of the datasource was woefully broken in a few different ways – you should have more success with the current version. Let me know if you’re still having trouble getting it to work.

Let me play around with the updated datasource and see if I can spot what I am doing wrong before I post any code.

I was reading about .seg files and Lucene and some issues are known with 32bit php builds. I might be running into that as my local dev seems to break whereas remotely I can (sometimes) get it to index.
