similar to: How to use polymorphic in a beautiful way in such a case?

Josh Susser tells in his blog that the opposite direction of polymorphic will get into trouble together with has_many through. This is the url: http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/articles/2006/04/03/polymorphic-through I do that according to Josh Susser''s procedure: class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :tag belongs_to :taggable, :polymorphic => true belongs_to

Didn''t have quite enough space to describe it there...basically i''m having a problem with the :uniq option in my tags. I''m using acts_as_taggable_on_steroid which adds these associations to my Resource class: Resource has_many :taggings, :as => :taggable, :dependent => :destroy, :include => :tag has_many :tags, :through => :taggings, :uniq => true

hi, I started today to use the acts as taggable plugin and it''s working as expected. I added a method find_tagged_with_all since I needed to find the elements tagged with all the items in a list while find_tagged_with finds all the elements tagged with any of the list terms. Attached to this mail there''s a patch which adds the find_tagged_with_all method and which solves a

Hi, I''m looking to add tagging to an application, and I would like to allow self-referential tags, so that I can tag my tags. With the goal of generating a flexible tag hierarchy. After some googling it looks like acts_as_taggable is not the best piece of code, and I''m hoping to use the has_many_polymorphs plugin from http://github.com/fauna/has_many_polymorphs/tree/master.

There appear to be three acts_as_taggable implementations and I''m looking for a recommendation on which to use. - Gem - DHH plugin - Dema mixin The Gem implementation appears to be obsolescent, from what I can read on the lists and Google search. I like that the DHH plugin uses polymorphic associations because there will be lots of different taggable items in my application; however,

My app has an association that''s got me scratching my head. I have Users, and Images. A User has many Images. (Yes, another picture sharing app, but it''s for a small niche, and it doesn''t end in -r!) I would like to express a "Favorite" relationship between both Users to Users, and Users to Images. This seems like the opposite of the standard

With acts_as_taggable 1.04... 1. how can I get a frequency of tags? i.e. /tags/list I want to list of tags sorted and listed with their frequency tags_controller.rb: def list @tags = Tags.find_by_sql ''select name, count(*) as freq from tags group by name order by freq desc'' End tags/list.rb: <ul> <% @tags.each do |t| %> <li><%= t.freq %>

hey folks I''ve installed the plugin acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (henceforth aatos), and i already have some tagging functionality set up, using the same approach (ie a Tag and a Tagging class with associated tables) as aatos. So, i want my existing Tag and Taggings methods, plus some other methods i have in a module which i include with the taggable classes (ie the ones that would call

I have run into a very strange problem discovered through the use of the acts_as_taggable plugin, but related to quoting/sanitizing the interpolated list in a find_by_sql. Apologies for the length, but I wanted to be complete. ;-) The method from acts_as_taggable.rb is: def find_tagged_with(list) find_by_sql(["SELECT #{table_name}.* FROM #{table_name}, tags,

I have gotten acts_as_taggable to work for a test application as documented on taggable.rubyforge.org I am following Chad''s excellent examples in ROR Recipes Beta book. I have a few questions and hope that Chad or some other expert can help clarify them. 1. Why is the book suggesting to use taggings table instead of tags_contacts, as mentioned on taggable.rubyforge.org?

Gents, I''m using the acts_as_taggable rails plugin (not gem), and would like to add some additional methods to it. For example, the find_tagged_with methods essentially does a find tag in a list (effectively an OR), while I''d like to implement a find_tagged_with_all method that would implement an AND (so if I specified 4 tags, it would only return items that were

Could someone please help me with this association scheme? I am familiar with habtm as well as the :through association but this one has me stumped. Here is an example DB. Tags Table: ------------------------- id name Taggables Table: -------------------------- id tag_id taggble_type taggable_id For purposes of this example say that there are 2 other tables that can be tagged and their model

Hi, I''m currently having the situation where I have to implement a polymorphic has_and_belongs_to_many by introducing an in between model that handles all the "has_many :as" and "belongs_to :polymorphic" association implementations... and is not doing anything else. Thing I don''t like it here is, I am unnecessarily loading AR instances only to execute SQL

Hi, I''m using the acts_as_taggable plugin & wanted to page through all a model''s records taggged with a particular tags. i.e. page through all Model records that have been tagged with "artist" I could not work out how to do this with the plugin, so I made the changes outlined below. Did I need to do this..? & does anyone else find this useful?

I am using acts_as_taggable in my application and on the tagging side of things, no problem at all. Running edge Rails and PostgreSQL 8.1. I am then trying to find all my AR objects with a certain tag. The tag is: lasvegas and I know that there are at least 3 records with that tag. So, I''m doing this: @lists = List.find_tagged_with :any => @search_string, :separator =>

The code on http://blog.craz8.com/articles/2005/10/28/acts_as_taggable-is-a-cool-piece-of-code is based on the acts_as_taggable gem,anybody has done that using the acts_as_taggable plugin?thanks! btw:the code above uses the tag_count method,which is defined in the gem: def tags_count(options = {}) options = {:order => ''count DESC''}.merge(options)

Hi all ! This is very strange. I am attempting to get my application running on PostgreSQL (from MySQL), and I get this error: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERREUR: la colonne «Party» n'existe pas : SELECT * FROM contact_routes WHERE (routable_type = "Party" AND routable_id = 1000013) ORDER BY position DESC LIMIT 1

Howdy, I''ve been banging my head on this problem for a bit. I''m using the acts_as_commentable plugin which works great. The scenario, I''m on the user''s dashboard and want to display comments with commentable_type = Venue. No problem. But, if I want to display the name of that Venue with the comment... big nasty. The polymorphic key is a composite key and

Hi! I''m observing some problems using gem inside Rails. My understanding is that after following sequence in irb: $ irb irb(main):001:0> require ''rubygems'' => true irb(main):002:0> require ''active_record'' => true irb(main):003:0> gem ''acts_as_taggable'' => true I should have access to acts_as_tagable mixins, like:

with act_as_taggable plugin, anyone know how to make tags dependent on the model they''re tagging, so the tags are deleted if the model is? i see that taggings are deleted, but the tags themselves aren''t. in acts_as_taggable.rb, i tried changing this line: has_many :tags, :through => :taggings to mirror the has_many definition for taggings, like so: has_many :tags, :through
