I got this to work in rails 2.2.2 with “acts_as_taggable_on’ (the preferred plugin nowadays) by changing the added code to the controler to the code below – maybe not a nice code, but hope it helps someone:privatedef new_tag_list(tag_ids)
tag_ids.map {|k,h| h['id']}.collect {|i| Tag.find(i)}.map do |tag|
tag.name + ‘,’
end
end
protecteddef before_create_save(record)
if params[:record][:tags] != nil
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(params[:record][:tags])
else
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(”)
end
enddef before_update_save(record)
if params[:record][:tags] != nil
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(params[:record][:tags])
else
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(”)
end
end

I try debug private methods:

protected

def before_create_save(record)
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(params[:record][:tags])
end

def before_update_save(record)
record.tag_list = new_tag_list(params[:record][:tags])
end

And i can`t =) Becouse this methods nt used when i try update tags.

Maybe its not work with rails 2.3.2 ?

I do have to say, even after working with Ruby for 9 months, your new_tag_list method made my head hurt trying to figure it out. I wasn’t able to – that’s why I finally wrote to ask you about it all.

Yep. I took out the before_*_save routines and it works like a champe, even your autocomplete stuff works. Thanks!

@Kristofer: I haven’t used this for a while. This probably has to do with acts_as_taggable_on_steroids. I’m not sure you need these helper methods anymore. Did you try using the ‘tag_list’ property directly? I think that should work now.

so is there any possibility that this routine from above -

def new_tag_list(tag_ids)
tag_ids.map {|k,h| h['id']}.collect {|i| Tag.find(i)}.map do |tag|
tag.name.include?(Tag.delimiter) ? “\”#{tag.name}\”" : tag.name
end.join(Tag.delimiter.ends_with?(” “) ? Tag.delimiter : “#{Tag.delimiter} “)
end

- wouldn’t work in ruby 1.86 and rails 2.0.2? Or with acts_as_taggable_on_steroids (as of 30 March 2008)?

It throws a

NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.map):
/app/controllers/recipes_controller.rb:46:in `new_new_tag_list’
/app/controllers/recipes_controller.rb:29:in `before_create_save’
/vendor/plugins/active_scaffold/lib/actions/create.rb:75:in `do_create’

when trying to create a new “recipe”. the tag table is not empty, I put a couple in by hand…

any ideas?

I’ve just posted a new article describing a (quite different) solution to this problem.
