problem with posting with acts as taggable on steroids

rubyonrails-talk

hi all

i'm trying to have a post with tags included but i'm getting undefined method `tag_with'

i've already added acts_as_taggable to the model

and on the controller the code for creating the post is:

  def create     @post = Post.new(params[:post])     @post.tag_with(params[:tag_list])     @post.user = current_user     if @post.save         redirect_to root_url     else         render :action => 'new'     end   end

and the form on the view has the tagging code:

<p><label for="tag_list">Tags</label><br/> <%= text_field_tag 'tag_list', @post.tags.collect{|t| t.name}.join(" ") %>

since the acts_as_taggable is in the model i don't see why it would give me undefined method.

any help would be greatly appreciateddd thank youu

You might want to have a look at the readme in the vendor/plugins/acts_as_taggable_on_steroids directory.

You will read the text hereafter. In short : there is not tag_with method. To add a tag do : p.tag_list.add("Great", "Awful")

=== Basic tagging

Let's suppose users have many posts and we want those posts to have tags. The first step is to add +acts_as_taggable+ to the Post class:

  class Post < ActiveRecord::Base     acts_as_taggable

    belongs_to :user   end

We can now use the tagging methods provided by acts_as_taggable, <tt>#tag_list</tt> and <tt>#tag_list=</tt>. Both these methods work like regular attribute accessors.

  p = Post.find(:first)   p.tag_list #   p.tag_list = "Funny, Silly"   p.save   p.tag_list # ["Funny", "Silly"]

You can also add or remove arrays of tags.

  p.tag_list.add("Great", "Awful")   p.tag_list.remove("Funny")
