@Anthony: I think ActiveScaffold is borked in 2.2 anyways. ;-) I’ve been staying well clear of it lately.

Just upgraded to Rails 2.2.2 and the corresponding version of Active Scaffold. This solution doesn’t appear to be working anymore.

The “tokens” piece is exactly what I was looking for! I am a tad surprised that this hasn’t been incorporated into the auto_complete plugin.

Thanks!

Hi,

I ve got a very nice “bug” using Acts as taggeable and Active Scaffold.. let me explain very fast..

I ve got 2 models (categ and souscateg), which all use acts_as_taggeable… these to models are linked together :

categ has many souscateg
souscateg belongs_to categ

In ActiveScaffold configuration for both model i include the other model..
for example for souscateg controller, i ve :
config.columns = [:tag_list, ****, :categ]..

With that, when i edit a tag list, it s the mess, because ActiveScaffold doesn t understand to which tag_list it refers…

In log it s possible to find out :

ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `tag_list’ for #) on line #6 of app/views/souscateg/_tag_list_form_column.rhtml:

(because of the inclusion, tag_list is loaded both for souscateg and categ, and it seems to be a big problem there)

If i exclude :categ from ActiveSaccold souscateg controller configuration, it works well…. but unfortunately i need it…

Do you have any idea of how to resolve that problem ?
thx a lot

Guillaume.

Nice – This is exactly what I was looking for!

I’ll implement this after lunch…

This is a great tutorial. My only suggestion would be to change the autocomplete to do the string matching in sql as follows:

def autocomplete_tag_list
@tags = Tag.find(
:all,
:order => “name ASC”
:conditions => ["name LIKE ?", "#{params[:record][:tag_list]}%”]
)
render :layout => false
end

This is nifty. One, how do we speed it up? Two, how can we make it behave more like when you tag a page with del.icio.us?
