I''m following the acts_as_taggable chapter from the Rails Recipes book. I want my view form to have a text_field that correlates to an attribute in the Model that accepts a string of space delimited tags.

A couple of quick acts_as_taggable (the Rails 1.1 plugin version) 1. Can you update tags on an existing record? If I execute the tag_with statement twice it creates two rows in the taggings column, instead of updating the value of the existing tag 2. Can you delete tags? I didn''t see a method for this.

I''m on the downhill side of a large project that requires an additional integer field to be added to the tag.rb in acts_as_taggable.

hello, i am currently using acts_as_ferret in one of my applications and now would like to also incorproate tags. i came across somesones blog that had this: ////// Having Ferret index method results (like :tag_list) worked out-of-the-box for me with acts_as_ferret.

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.

Disclaimer: RoR newbie. Using the acts_as_taggable plugin. As an exercise I wanted to switch from the destructive TAG_WITH method to adding tags while preserving the existing ones.

Hi all, I''m trying to serialize a form with the exception of one specific element.
