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

I''m trying to dynamically create an instance of an object at runtime, from a String. I have a method that returns one of a number of Strings ("Car", "Motorcycle", "Bicycle"), and when I receive the String, I then want to instantiate one of those objects. Seems like there should be a way to do it in Ruby, but maybe I''ve been up too long --

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,

I installed the acts_as_taggable plugin that DHH wrote. Now I have met problems on using it: class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable end mybook = Book.new mybook.tag_with(''red library book'') But the system tell the wrong message: undefined method `parse'' for Tag:Class d:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1123:in

Hey! I did a write-up on DHH''s acts_as_taggable plugin. Its a plugin in need of more encomapassing documentation, so please, check out the post at my blog and feel free to comment extensively :] The post can be viewed here: http://rails.co.za/articles/2006/06/04/acts_as_taggable-plugin-docs Thanks a lot to mr. DHH for his excellent plugin! Ciao! Gustav Paul gustav@rails.co.za

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

I''m hoping someone more familiar with DHH''s acts_as_taggable plugin can help me out here... Tags being all the rage, and the subject of a good recipe in the forthcoming Pragmatic Rails Recipes book, I decided to give them a try. However, from what I can tell, they''re kind of application-wide by design. I know the social thing is hot, but I need my tags to be

DHH''s acts_as_taggable is now much more usable with this patch. http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3866 This patch adds scoped finders, documentation, and tests: # Get tags for all articles in a blog @blog.articles.tags # Get tags for articles in a blog published in the last year @blog.articles.tags :conditions => [''published_at > ?'', 1.year.ago] # Get related

Why is that in so many plugins I see people using (including acts_as_taggable by DHH): # init.rb ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, ActiveRecord::Acts::SomeModule) # lib/some_module.rb module ActiveRecord module Acts module SomeModule def self.included(base) base.extend(ClassMethods) end module ClassMethods def acts_as_something # code

acts_as_taggable is working fine for me on 1.1. i''m getting acts_as_taggable from svn (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/acts_as_taggable/), installing it into /vendor/plugins/acts_as_taggable > If the acts_as_taggable plugin has been installed via ruby script/plugin > install acts_as_taggable while not acts_astaggable gem installed via gem > install

Hi, this is hopefully an easy one, but I''ve gone through the api and searched past forum entries, and am drawing a blank. I have a model that with acts_as_ferret mixed in to it, which is working fine. But I want users to be able to set a ''private'' attribute on the model, and when it''s set to true, create and update methods would skip indexing. So, how can I

i''m using Ferret 0.9.0 with acts_as_ferret (the one from svn.jkraemer.net), and i''m getting duplicate results, as described in this thread: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2005-December/000048.html is there a way to configure the indexes created by acts_as_ferret to use :key => :id, as described in that thread? i''ve poked around in the code, and had

I just added :disable_with attributes to a handful of form submit tags, and they worked as expected for normal forms. But in the two instances where I added them to ajax forms (ie, form_remote_tag generated forms), they caused unexpected behavior -- rather than update a target, the form response loaded in the browser as if it had been rendered with :layout => false. Before I dig into

i''m trying to get :through associations working per the wiki: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/ThroughAssociations i follow the instruction to the t, with the exception that i''m trying to use it with a polymorphic association. here are the associations in my models: Collection has_many :collectings Collection has_many :collectables, :through => collectings Collecting

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?

Hello, Is it possible to tag multiple fields in a model using either acts_as_taggable plugin or gem? If it is not possible out of the box, can anyone provide pointers on how I would achieve something like that? Say I have a ''Food'' model which has ''spices'' and ''healthiness'' attributes. I want to be able to tag on both those fields. Is that

Can anyone provide me an example of how they are displaying validation errors when saving a tag using Demetrius''s (not DHH''s) act_as_taggable plugin? For example, the tag model has a :validates_length_of :name, :in => 1..30, :too_long => "Tag name too long - max 30 characters", :too_short => "Tag must have a name" If a user inputs a tag longer than
