[Rails 3.2] How to extend a gem model

rubyonrails-talk
1

I am using the gem ‘acts-as-taggable-on’ ( mbleigh) and I need to extend the Tag model to translate the tag name with Globalize

How can I add “translates :name” into ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag ? I can fork the gem and modify my version, but is there any way to do it simply with “extend ActiveSupport::Concern” ?

currently :

module ActsAsTaggableOn

class Tag < ::ActiveRecord::Base

include ActsAsTaggableOn::Utils

attr_accessible :name

needed :


 module ActsAsTaggableOn

class Tag < ::ActiveRecord::Base

include ActsAsTaggableOn::Utils

attr_accessible :name

    translate :name

You can decorate the class:

ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.class_eval do    translate :name end

3

ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.class_eval do translates :name end

``

I’m trying to run migration to allow translation of tags with Globalize gem.

I’ve added `config/initializers/acts_as_taggable_on.rb with following content:

Running “bundler exec rake db:migrate” fails with error message: undefined method `translates’ for #Class:0xba5eea10 (NoMethodError)

Is something I missing here?
