similar to: Acts_as_taggable and exclusively_dependent?

I am implementing a messaging system, which requires broadcast to group feature. Instead of a relatively clunky habtm group structure, I am using tags. Form a usability standpoint, it would be helpful to avoid redundant tags. Like, friend vs friends OR client vs. clients. Is it practical to filter tags, before entry, to avoid duplicate tags like plural vs. singular? -- Posted via

This more of a best practices question. I''m implementing group functionality in a couple of applications. The typical method, using HABTM, where you create a group and add members, is typical. For example, Users, Groups and Messages. Does anyone prefer tagging instead? Any advice would be great! -- Lon Baker http://www.speedymac.com AIM: spdemac

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 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?

Hey...I''m trying to search a Model that uses acts_as_taggable for multiple tags. I''d like to pass in a search string containing a space delimited tags names (i.e. "tag1 tag2") and return the objects that have been tagged by either one of those.

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

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

I have been using browsercam.com for CSS testing, but it is rather expensive. Recently, I discovered others using funadable.org to purchase a yearly membership as a group. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will

I have the following quick-and-dirty hack in my model: def after_destroy # search for orphaned tags and delete them orphans = Resource.tags_count :count => ''= 0'' orphans.keys.each {|tag| Tags.find_by_name(''tag'').destroy} end It''s nice from a readable code perspective, but it seems inefficient - is there some way to do this with only one

I am using the acts_as_taggable plugin, which works rather nicely by the way. My question is this: When using find_tagged_with, how do I sort the resultant data? It is currently sorting based on the "id" of the record. For instance, I have posts, with tags. If I want to find all posts tagged with "RubyOnRails" it displays them, but not in chronological order, they are

Hi , I couldnt find any mailing list for this nice plugin so I hope this is not off topic.I just have a basic question here. I already had created a table and a model for the tags and items and the join table and now want to use this plugin but I just cant seem to figure out how to make it use my table instead of the default. class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base # already exists and has the

I''m trying to add per-user tags to a simple app built atop the tiny_file example code, as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sqlite> .schema CREATE TABLE resources ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, filename VARCHAR(255), user_id integer ); CREATE TABLE ''tags'' ( ''id'' INTEGER

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 tried to post this earlier, but it never came through. I''ve got something working in console, but not in controller. Any idea why? This is the plugin not the gem of acts_as_taggable *View* <code> <h1>Listing elements</h1> <% if @elements.blank? %> <p>There are currently no elements in the system tagged <%=

I have Acts_As_Taggable Plugin working. I have a HR controller and a sales controller. I have a document in hr tagged whitepaper and a differnent document in sales tagged whitepaper when I am in hr I see the hr document tagged with whitepaper and not the sale document (what I want). but if I click on the tag whitepaper I return two documents, hr and sales. I just want to return the hr document

Hi, So i''m trying to use acts_as_taggable with the acts_as_ferret plugin, where I have Post.rb model, which has a method tag_list made available through acts_as_taggable, as returns a string of associated tag words from the tags table (tag.rb). I''ve set up my Post.rb model in the following way. class Post < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable acts_as_ferret

I''ve set up a couple of STI models like such that we get something like this... class A < AR:Base class B < A acts_as_taggable class C < A acst_as_taggable (using the acts_as_taggable plugin) I can tag things just fine this way, the problem I encounter is that the taggings are listed with the base class ("A") and not the appropriate subclass ("B"

There´s already a new version of the acts_as_taggable mixin available and look what it is capable of now: # Gets the top 10 tags for all photos Photo.tags_count :limit => 10 # => { ''beer'' => 68, ''wine'' => 37, ''vodka'' => ''22'', ... } # Gets the tags count that are greater than 30 Photo.tags_count :count =>

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 %>
