Update owner tags via form

Question

I would like to uniquely use owner tags in my app. My problem is that when I create / update a post via a form I only have f.text_field :tag_list which only upd

Answer 1

I ended up creating a virtual attribute that runs the User.tag statement:

In my thing.rb Model:

attr_accessible :tags
belongs_to :user
acts_as_taggable

def tags
    self.all_tags_list
end

def tags=(tags)
    user = User.find(self.user_id)
    user.tag(self, :with => tags, :on => :tags, :skip_save => true)
end

The only thing you have to do is then change your views and controllers to update the tag_list to tags and make sure you set the user_id of the thing before the tags of the thing.
