Acts As Taggable

There are two versions of acts_as_taggable:

  • The plugin: thats what this page is about!
  • The gem: Acts As Taggable Gem

This mixin provides an easy way for adding tagging capabilities (also known as folksonomy) to your active record objects. It allows you to add tags to your objects as well as search for tagged objects.

It assumes you are using a fully-normalized tagging database schema. For that, you need a table (by default, named tags) to hold all tags in your application and this table must have a primary key (normally a id int autonumber column) and a name varchar column. You must also define a model class related to this table (by default, named Tag).

Check the Home URL for info on how to use it.

    There is also an actsastaggable gem which is different than the plugin. The actsastaggable plugin is only available for Rails 1.1.
