Hello,

For my rails application i have declared questions model as  
acts\_as\_taggable\_on. For this i am using dynamic context tagging. For  
me Question.custom\_contexts which is expected to give list of contexts  
doesn’t work and returns empty array, though there are custom  
contexts.  
But after using Questioin.tag\_list\_on(:applications) and then trying  
to run Question.cutom\_contexts return [“applications”] array.(and so  
on for all other custom contexts.) What might be problem? Is this  
some kind of caching plugins uses or a bug?

Sorry,  
A correction - Question.tag\_list\_on(:applications) is wrong… i use  
Question.tag\_counts\_on(:application)
