Guys I must not be getting enough sleep, cause I'm really feeling lost about this one. I've read lots about STI and polymorphism gleefully playing in the meadow together. But apparently my models are the giant sinkhole the wonderful kids fell into. (Do I sound tired?) Anyway:
To me, this seems pretty standard...
--- class Content < AR::Base acts_as_taggable # plugin end
class Photo < Content; end
class Album < Content; end ---
Normal STI table for contents. I have taggings and tags for acts_as_taggable.
My issue is after doing this: --- Photo.find(:first).tag_with 'test' Album.find(:first).tag_with 'test' --- There are now two records in taggings with the IDs of the taggable and taggable_type = 'Content' (wish this could be 'Album' and 'Photo' but I understand that this must be the base_class). Now, I want to get all the photos that are tagged with 'test'. I'm using the provided methods with acts_as_taggable:
--- Photo.find_tagged_with 'test' ---
The problem is that this returns both records because find_tagged_with searches for taggable_type = 'Content'! Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, Dave

Nope, that's a limitation of STI (I forget why). I worked around it by adding another column and monkeypatching the acts_as_taggable to populate that column with the actual class name.
