I have Ransack search with Ancestry categories.
I have the models category, page and category_page. Categories has Ancestry.
Now I can search pages that has a specific category. However, what I would like to have is to show the pages that has one category and also the pages that has the children categories.
For example, if I search the Programming category, I would like also to see the pages that Ruby on Rails as category (which has Programming as parent)
Ancestry docs have several options that I can test but I don't have any idea what I have to do on Ransack. I would appreciate any recomendations that I can try out.
Snipped from PagesController
def index
@search = Page.paginate(:per_page => 20, :page => params[:page]).search(params[:q])
@pages = @search.result(:distinct => true)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: @pages }
end
end
