Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the update. If you find a solution, please let me know and I will link to it from the post. I’ll try to checkout the new version and let you know if I find out a solution.

Thanks,
Prateek

The changes in this post don't work anymore with the latest versions of thinking-sphinx. The 'collection.rb' file was removed a few months ago (see GitHub commit). I'll be tinkering with this, and if I find an easy solution I'll let you know.

Are there any plans to get Blackbook to work with newer version of nokogiri? Version 1.4.0 to be more exact…

Great article. As you know the authentication systems on these mail and address book systems can change and its important to keep an up to date blackbook gem. I believe the most current version of blackbook is being maintained by purzelrakete on github

Hi Dharin

May be you are using a different version. I checked again and I do have a collection.rb in lib/thinking_sphinx

Please make sure you have the following versions of these gems

hpricot (0.8.1)
mechanize (0.8.4)
nokogiri (1.2.3)

The blackbook gem does not work with the latest version of mechanize and nokogiri. I am not sure if hpricot is required.

Let me know if this helps

Hi Harsh,

You need to use the gem as I have mentioned in the post. If it does not work for you, please let me know and I will help you out. I am not aware of myspace exposing any contacts API as such
