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.

Hi,

Did you have any success of resolving the tag problem ?
(the problem that you can not add tags)

Thanks
Guillaume

Nope, not yet. I’m currently having exams and next tuesday I have to deliver a presentation to get my CS degree.

I’m trying different approaches now, but I think I have found something. Take a look at the _form_association views. That could be very useful.
